It does not mean show all. You can have items in Dashboard that are not
in any other collection, and vice versa.

I actually thought that we had sort of show all function by overlaying
all collections, but I just realized it does not work in the table view
(it works only in the calendar view).

Anyone know why you can not overlay in table view?

"Show all items" could be useful in some situations. I wonder if we have
a bug for this yet (I could not find one)...

On the other hand, it would also be confusing to use a well understood
existing concept to do something that it is not supposed to do. New
concepts require new terms.
