CC can match the kindle "grouping" only if it is based on some calibre metadata. It cannot know about any collections you made on the kindle itself.
Smart Eject works that way because it assumes that you did things while you were connected and that you want the device to reflect what you did. Reading List checks on connect.
Your steps for making the books in CC be the same as the kindle are fine. You might be able to make the process more reliable by creating a custom Yes/No column named (for example) #onkindle. After connecting your kindle and sending books, etc, before you disconnect select all books in your library, use bulk metadata edit to clear #onkindle to empty, search ondevice:true, select everything found, then use bulk edit to set #onkindle to Yes. Now when you connect CC you can know what is on your kindle and do the operations you described to make CC match it.
