We don't do that on purpose so that people can chose what profiles they want to 
see in dt. Feel free to do (maybe after creating the color/ dir)
ln -s /usr/share/color/icc/ ~/.config/darktable/color/out/
to see how messy it gets. And that isn't even pulling in the subdirectories. 
For actually using those I would just copy the few needed profiles into 
~/.config/darktable/color/out/ (make sure it is no longer a symlink).

CMYK profiles are only useful for softproofing and gamut checking in darkroom. 
darktable can't read or write CMYK files since it's limited to 3 color channels 
by design.
