Here is an example of using several Notebook Options to achieve what
you are looking for:
CreateDocument[{Plot3D[
Cos[x] Sin[y], {x, -2 \[Pi], 2 \[Pi]}, {y, -2 \[Pi], 2 Pi}]},
WindowSize -> All,
WindowMargins -> {{Automatic, Automatic}, {Automatic, 30}},
WindowElements -> {},
ShowCellBracket -> False]
Hope this helps,
David
