I care that the item I'm looking for is there (and of course, the other items
on my list) I don't want to find a store that sells me 5 minifigures with
red pants, because in the end I'll settle for the cheapest minifigure which
contains these pants, because the main item I'm looking for is the pants.

There’d still be the problem of defining “cheapest.”
1. If it’s about adding the set to your Wanted List, then you may be able to
choose min/max/average/lot-average & for sale/6-months. That’s 8 choices for
a definition of “cheapest,” coupled with New/Used/Any, that’s 32. It’s almost
as complicated a form to fill as doing it yourself 
2. If it’s “I have a part in my WL and I want searches to also give me the cheapest
minifigure(s) / set(s) that contain it,” it’s more complicated.
If you’re already in a store, it’s almost simple because the search is limited
to what the store has. But I understood that was not your situation.
If it’s about choosing a store (Auto-select…), “cheapest” is already complicated
(shipping, fewest stores…). Anyway, the feature is nearly impossible: the algorithm
already cuts corners for items you (really) want, it won’t have the resources
to add substitute items, that would blow the search space exponentially.
