I might have complained about this before, but now I'm serious. :) It's incredibly counterintuitive and weird to have questions closed because they're answered, I guess unless they're an individual issue that only affects one person. Anything that might be helpful later and which has a helpful answer should be the _opposite_ of closed!

I forgot about this! Closing the question removes it from
visibility/searchability, right? If so, killing this feature makes sense to me.

Closing the question adds a blockquote that says "This question was closed by 'person' because 'the question has been answered and the answer was accepted'". Users can continue to comment, suggest answers, edit, post comments as answers, contribute inaccurate answers, whatever, as long as they aren't deterred by the closed banner. Basically, I agree about it being a silly reason to close a question, except that it might do things that it isn't actually doing. So, +1 from me, let's turn it off.
Amusingly, the only way to access the list of close reasons is to have moderation turned on, and start choosing reasons to reject a post :) I'll remove this soon, unless someone gets to it or strenuously objects soon.

I don't object. Is there a way to say "This problem was solved for me." by the original poster?
