If you play with all those apps, you can see that each have a reason 
to be in the Dock — when you click on the dock icon, you see the app 
content; Dashboard activates and display the widgets, Stacks show 
their content window, etc.

If you are not sure about this, build a simple prototype (with minima 
or empty menu), and let real user play with it. Watch them and see if 
you interface is confusing or not.
