What I mean is to have CCleaner search the disk for files with the user-specified extension(s) and delete them.

I was trolling through the forums looking for good and bad ideas and ran across this. I would 3rd this suggestion, specifically .BAK .TMP .DMP etc - some powerusers know for sure that all .TMP files are trash and are willing to risk data loss with this feature - user beware, but feature enabled.

There are freeware software titles that deal with hunting down specific junk file extensions on the hard disk such as; .bak and .tmp. A search on a reputable download site will reveal them.
Complexity of incoherent design.

Ok but why not CCleaner? I think CCleaner is great and would prefer to use it over others.

Because that type of functionality could damage users computers if used incorrectly and CCleaner is designed to be a safe cleaner.
