I think what you want is only a simple checkbox to hide about 70% of all 
menu entries. Only the code of one class needs to be adapted to make 
this possible.
And there exist already some extensions to make the usage of frontend 
users as backend users possible.

But there stands nothing against writing an additional backend module 
for a more simple page creation wizard.
