No, that isn't a design goal.  Konsole should be similar to the other applications that its users are using - to minimize the amount of learning that the user has to do.  
Ideally Konsole should be consistant with other KDE applications.

The reason why Ctrl+PgUp / Ctrl+PgDown are not used by default in Konsole I believe is because those key combinations are used in some terminal programs.  If Konsole handles those keys then the terminal program will not see them.
For example Midnight Commander uses Ctrl+PgUp to move up a directory, and Ctrl+PgDown to switch between the current and previous directories.
Vim 7 uses Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown to switch between tab pages.
