maybe the cheness tenchi or oniyuri? mosters. I hear blades are durable as well, and you CAN shave with them

You may wish to consider the Cheness SGC yamakami Ko-Kat. I have one and it is one heck of a cutter. I believe Cheness has them on sale for $299.

The Yamakami is a pretty good sword and good cutter,but not a dedicated hard target cutter.

While I understand your frustration, allow me to play devil's advocate for a moment: I personally see nothing wrong with wanting a sword to be as durable as possible, and I think it's a bit unfair to assume everyone who asks for one plans to chop down trees with it or whatever. Surely those people exist, but we're not all that ignorant.
I would love an indestructible sword simply because swords are expensive and, if it's a good one, of great personal value, so knowing it has a very high level of durability would be sort of a relief. There is nothing wrong with pursuing an optimum, and I don't think it's about misuse but rather about trust. A sword is a partner to its wielder and a partner must be trustworthy.
That's the whole point of destructive tests, as I see it: By clearly demonstrating where the sword's limits lie, we know them to be trustworthy and reliable. We know what can be expected of them in normal conditions and also how far they can be pushed under extreme circumstances. Thus we won't have to constantly second guess: "Am I pushing this sword too far? Should I be more careful?"

Those are the exact reason I did my destructive reviews the way I did. So others can know limits and not damage their blades. So far my only experience in the durable blades is a couple tenchi's which are really fun to cut with. They are pretty inaccurate when it comes to handling.
