I'm going to first clarify that as an old school D&D player I rather grab some good ol' dice and roll them. However, I think that having a dice roller embedded inside D&D Beyond could be a very useful tool.
In particular, I would personally add not just the option to roll particular dice (i.e. 2d20, 1d8,...) but also add the possibility to roll for attacks and abilities. That way, when you open a Goblin character sheet and you can simply click on any attack and the app would give a "to hit" roll and a "damage" roll output. Same could apply for Character sheets.
If this has already been posted or if this already exist please let me know as I haven't found said option yet!
There will be some character sheet integration into the forums themselves, and that will allow for more options. No timeline for when this will happen, but it is planned.
Personally, I'd like to click on all those wonderful tables from the DMG, Xanathar's, etc. and have it roll me a result from the table. Treasure, magic, events, etc. etc. etc.

Just pushed the version 0.3.0 of Beyond Help Extension. Probably will take some time to the store update. But I think it is possible to update manually from the address "chrome://extensions/" by clicking on "Update extensions now". Now you can do exactly that on the majority of the roll tables of the site (excluding some especial cases).
We have a forum (Play by Post) with a thread specifically for dice rolling You can find this here.

need to integrate DNDBeyond so that while players have tablets in hand they can do all that rolling that you talkin about but also display same rolls on a single shared media device (ie TV) so that the rolls are visible by all (excluding DM's rolls of course)
I love all these suggestions but the best one is to have that embedded roller integrated with the Monster Manual so you can just quickly use them by tapping attack and damage rolls. Would LOVE that!
character sheet dice roller would be amazing is anything in the works? I prefer real dice myself but we are not always all in the same room or even the same state and I don't trust other players lol

That's an awesome idea, it'd really help with grabbing monsters on the fly to throw into an encounter.
That would be a great idea.

A dwarf with a canoe on his back? What could go wrong?

If you're using Chrome, here is a handy 3rd party widget that integrates a dice roller into Beyond:

And while you're there, grab this one too:
