I don't think the situation is quite as dire.

>There is no (at least easy to find) way to paste files in Dolphin when using a touchscreen

There are two ways:

1. Open Menu->Actions for Current View->Paste
2. (While in selection mode)Select a folder->Paste (within selection mode's
bottom bar)

IMO the best way to copy-paste a file with a touch screen goes like this
though:

1. Have no item selected at all and trigger the "Copy…" action -> This enters a
special selection mode for copying
2. Select files
3. Press "Copy" in the bottom bar of the selection mode -> A bar will appear at
the bottom for easy pasting
4. Navigate to the location of your choosing and use the bottom bar for easy
pasting

To make this last workflow more discoverable, I believe it would be best if we
had a different default Dolphin toolbar configuration for tablet or phone use.
