I believe it would be possible to execute an applescript to tell the finder to delete the files in one go. It would theoretically be possible to construct/run the applescript directly in a shell script. It would be easier (but still not trivial) to write an applescript file to take the file list as an argument to then delete when calling from the shell.
It’s not theoretical, and it is trivial. Like I said, I did exactly that for years. Specifically, I had a function in my `.zshrc` to expand all inputs to their full paths, verify and exclude invalid arguments, trash the rest in one swoop, then show me an error with the invalid arguments, if any.
