This, at least, I can help with.

Change the view in calibre so it shows you the books on your device. Then you select those you want to change to "finished" and then you use Kobo Utilities. When done it will tell you how many books were selected, changed, unchanged...

I tried first with only one book (just in case!) and it worked perfectly on both FW 3.15 and 3.17.3.

Unfortunately it's not possible to select the books in the library view, you'll have to track them down in the device view one by one. Next time I have to factory reset a kobo I will first copy all finished books to the device (if I want them there), change the status and then add the rest.
