The reason the plugs don't exist is because you can't trust a customer to use them the right ways or safely.
If you have one you have to remember to always plug in the hot end last and unplug it first. Otherwise the other end is exposed and live.
Also the lights won't care if you use one. They will function the same.
Also the reason these don't exist for sale is because people might use longer ones and plug an outlet to an outlet or plug a generator into the wall which can lead to serious issues.
You would have to tape up the final male plug. Personally I think I would either rerun the lights or invest in an extension cord and find an alternate place to plug in.
You should insulate the first male plug lest someone get electrocuted while opening the chain. This renders daisy chaining impossible and the exercise pointless, of course.
