Is there a relatively simple equivalent to \cmidrule (a partial horisontal line in a table) but with the characteristics of a \toprule? It seems the booktabs package does not provide a \ctoprule command.

to make a table line followed by a line the markup is \\\hline That's only 8 characters so it's rather hard to come up with a less intrusive markup, given that you have to mark the end of row manually anyway. Perhaps \def\nl{\\\hline} then you only need the three characters \nl at the end of each row.
Your example works just fine. You should zoom in to see the correct rendering of the lines. Sometimes, the viewer is not able to handle every size. Especially as you are using some scaling. I would not recommend to scale your table but to reformat it in order to fit the page. Please see my suggestion below:

By "characteristics of a
\toprule?", I assume you mean the thickness of the line. To draw a\cmidrule, whose default weight is\cmidrulewidth, with the thickness of a\toprule, you'd type something likeAddendum: As @Manuel has pointed out in a comment,
\toprulediffers from\cmidrule(and\midrule) not only in terms of line thickness but also by not having vertical whitespace in the amount of\aboverulesepinserted above the line. If your "truncated toprule` should have no such whitespace, you'd need to writeto achieve your objective.
