Sorry if it seems like I am trying to dismiss the idea. That was never the intention. 
I was actually hoping to get you to provide a real-world example of when and why this would be useful since we have so many disparate filters. 3dsMax only has a small amount so it makes more sense in that context.
I could definitely see an invert command to toggle the enabled state of the filters you have set already. So, if you had 5 filters set with only 2 actually enabled, you could quickly toggle between those and the 3 disabled ones.
It also seems like having custom filter sets you would be able to create could be really useful.
