With page-break after and float, you already have this, but your initial problem still exists:
The problem is--and, yeah, verily, I've looked into this: even if you COULD do this--where does it stop? Where does it stop flowing the text "around" the element that is now like a rock in the stream? Because if this worked, my thoughts lead me to an ePUB (or MOBI or..) that has a clump of images or tables, etc., at the end, as all the text that wasn't held up, has flowed around it, gone on ahead--so to speak.

The element becomes a logjam. Other images and tables couldn't flow past it. You'd end up with what would look like a too-long pair of jeans, all bunched round someone's ankles...all the images, tables, etc., stacked up against each other at the end (rocks) whilst the text (water) flowed around that first one, leaving all the rocks at the bottom/end.

Just saying.
