Sooo simple to emulate the sophisticated notepad ?? Actually your statement is not true (at least in GNU Emacs 24.5.1)If I set the mark with all that you mention enabled, then the region is extended and highlighted when pressing the arrow keys without SHIFT, as well as while isearching. This is exactly what I want to avoid and it never happen in notepad.
