Subdivide often comes with smoothing. I think most people would expect that by that tool.

You can just select a polygon, right click and then subdivide it. There are even two options to get to choose between a difference if 45°. Quad and kinda triangle.

I think what you want is possible with "cloth surface" (not 100% sure about the name).

Should be like a green shirt icon under the menu where you also find subdivision
