$40 Captive Portal Redirect to landing page only

And after that, what?
What you described can be accomplished via a simple port forward. At least if the destination server is properly configured (Will need to be an address-based virtual host, not name-based).
It's what happens next that might require a captive portal.
This is a feature that should be there. A couple other related things (like a redirection to a site if the IP/MAC pair already exists in the portal authentication table instead of just presenting the portal page over and over again because the user is a donkey.)
You could probably do this pretty easily at the top of /usr/local/captiveportal/index.php. The problem is catching all the cases for the myriad of CP options in the GUI. But a custom index.php that you accept responsibility for maintaining should be pretty simple. Get the MAC/IP pair, add it to the authenticated table, redirect the user.
That said, captive portals break the internet for users and need to die.

All i want is to have the Captive portal automatically forward the user to a website we designate. All without the user having to click ok or submit on any cp landing page.

And after that, what? Have access to the internet?
-
Yes

Then you need to modify the captive portal code.

What do you think that is worth?
