Thank you for the offer. Though, I don't think it's worth implementing
it.

For navigation, Org has better tools than page break jumping. So, it
would only be related to export. Even in that case, adding a keyword
(#+PAGEBREAK, but that would be some irregular syntax since there's no
value attached) for such a simple thing is hardly a benefit:

  #+latex: \newline

Sure, when exporting to multiple formats, it can save a line or two.
Nothing earth-shaking here.
