My question is very obvious: Is there any package to handle missing values in R?

I think this task can be done almost in an automatic way. I mean, we can have a function like the one below which is simply a quick pseudo function:

handle_missing_values(
  dataframe,
  threshold_remove_variable: 40% # remove the variable when the missing value amount is greater or equal than 40%
  default_imputation_numeric_variables: "mean",
  default_imputation_categoric_variables: "Not Specified",
  imputation_numeric_variables: c(
    field5: "knn",
    field8: "prediction"
  ),
  imputation_categoric_variables: c(
    field2: "Not Asked"
  ),
  remove_rows_with_missing_values_at_the_end: true
)

Thanks in advance!

There is a whole task view on the topic: CRAN Task View: Missing Data.

Hi, I've ever used mice package to handle missing value, but I'm not sure if this can execute all the commands above.
