move report to group
You cnnot move the report directly from my workspace to the Group. One way you could achieve this is as follow .
1> Create a Content Pack with the Personal report and Dashboard in it .
2> Assign the Permission to the group to access the contenc pack .
3> Connect to the content pack from the Group work space .
4> Edit the report on the group work space by personalizing the content pack .
Hope this helps .

A content pack is a simple solution.
Often, I create my base datasource in desktop and then pull it into the group. I modify the pbix file and update from there.
As a work around, if the datamodel is accessible and can be uploaded to the group, I have successfully used copy/paste to move reports. You open the report for editing, Ctrl-A to Copy All, Ctrl-C to copy, then move to the group, open the datamodel to 'explore' and Ctrl-V to paste the report page in.
This is a slow process but if you do not want to use a content pack it is a legitimate work around.
And I agree with you the Collabaration and sharing can be much better in Power BI.
Collaboration issues and that discussion aside. I feel the need to outline that I don't think this Content Pack from personal workspace approach should be used. The report should have been built in the Desktop so you have a PBIX file that could be pulled into the group. By creating the Content Pack in a personal workspace, the core pieces still belong to only one person. As a result, no one can update the Content Pack model/reports/dashboards unless you are the one to do it. (Or they use your creds...) That is the whole purpose of Groups - so all this doesn't belong to one person.
