You should have a show desktop applet in the panel. Normally by default it is next to the menu. Right click on the panel and select edit mode to be able to drag it to your preferred position. If it's not there you can add it via right click on the panel > add to panel

An alternative is setting up a hot corner for show desktop. No click required just a hover on your designated corner for a user specified time period. Menu > Hot Corners to access the GUI
For custom Nemo actions, useful scripts for the Cinnamon desktop, and Cinnamox themes visit my Github pages.
