Have you added these to calibre?

That is calibre's database, not designed to be mucked with if you expect calibre to continue working properly.

This is time consuming and laborious when dealing with hundreds of books.
Do you always make things so hard? Just do all of the conversions. When you are complete select all of the books you want to export out of calibre, then use the dropdown arrow to the right of the Save to disk icon. Now select an option and save all of the books to the directory of your choice.

Calibre is going to save the files in the directories as you have noted. This action can not be changed, because that is how calibre tracks books in its database. But calibre makes it very easy to export books wherever you want.
