Well, this looks nice to me - so then "your dream is fulfilled" - or?
The implementation above does not let you choose the buffer to kill,
but I agree with you that that is a quite stupid choise to get anyway.

One final tip: (kill-buffer) returns true if the buffer is actually
killed, nil otherwise. So you *could* wrap the (delete-window ) call a
bit:

;;...
(if (kill-buffer (current-buffer))
    (if (> (count-windows) 1)
        (delete-window (selected-window))))
