Those are all much less efficient than a single click on a known location. The point is that it's harder to do than in the environment that's familiar to me, not that it's impossible to do. This creates a little bit of frustration each time I have to do it.
I was suggesting that I could cycle through all open windows with Command+Tab, not those in the same application. Isn't that what Command+Tab does?

No, it switches between applications, not windows, which you would know if you'd ever actually used OS X. Why are you complaining about an OS which you've never even used?
(a) Right click on the terminal app in the dock for a list of open windows.
(b) Use command + backtick to cycle between windows in the same application.
(c) Just use tabs in the terminal app instead of opening separate windows.
So it's kind of hard to take this as a legitimate usability complaint.
Also, I am kind of doubtful that you have actually used OS X. If you had, you would surely know that you cannot use Command+Tab to switch between multiple windows within the same application. I.e., it is not even an inefficient way of doing this, it is simply not a way of doing it at all.
