An indented way to achieve this now is to create a simple action.
1. Create an action
2. Select some art
3. Create a new Layer with a button in the Layers panel
4. Object > Arrange > Send to Current Layer
5. End recording
Actions are great for automating various routines we have in Illustrator, and this is just one of them. If you think it still should be a native operation instead (or an action to be included in standard Actions pack) — please vote and comment.

@Egor Chistyakov ‘Collect in New Layer’ works on the selected artwork in the Layers Panel (highlighted background in the Layers Panel). It would be more beneficial if there was a command that works on the selected artwork on the canvas (highlighted dot in the Layers Panel). After all, on the canvas is where I most easily see and select which elements I want to move.
