The global '--profile bar' option will implicitly create the profile 
when used with the config an addon command. If you want to configure a given profile
prior to start you will need to use these commands with this option.

How in your example do you expect minishift to now to what profile to associate the
config changes? How would Minishift know that you want to configure a profile bar?

As mentioned on the issue comment, maybe a different behaviour for 'minishift profile set bar'
makes sense. Atm you get an error message if the profile does not exist. One cold argue
it should create an empty profile. Whether there should be an explicit 'minishift profile create bar'
is debatable. Either way, your examples would still be wrong and would need
to be preceded with a minishift profile [set|create].
