What am I missing?

It seems like this is your main stumbling block – you want to be able to mark a book as “Finished” in the Kobo's metadata, not only in your Calibre library.
Have you examined the Kobo Utilities “Store/Restore Reading Position” feature or the “Update metadata in device library” feature? The first of these will allow you to set the Kobo's reading status from the columns in your Calibre library. I think the only piece which might be missing is
marking the book as finished in Calibre. However, regardless of what your Kobo reading process columns say in Calibre, the “Update metadata in device library” feature can set a number of books to “Finished” en masse. So you could just do this and then the “store” part to store the finished status for those books in your Calibre columns.
