I just found out that author Ambrose Bierce wrote his essay "For Brevity and Clarity" and proposed a new type of punctuation mark to convey jest, which he knew would make the satire a little more clear in typewritten correspondence.
So I'm not some sole loon to think that snarky or jest deserve to be its own sentence type.

Also came across this A Giant Step Forward for Punctuation as an example of someone proposing the same idea.
