Window options; if used before the first --window or --tab argument, 
sets the default for all windows:
  --show-menubar                  Turn on the menubar
  --hide-menubar                  Turn off the menubar
  --maximize                      Maximise the window

[...]

I think you want to start it like this:

gnome-terminal --maximize
