The point is you are hitting this issue because

1) You are transferring an ebook format with poor metadata support
2) You are transferring to someone that finds it difficult to use calibre's bulk metadata features
3) You have a workflow that involves having a large unstructured library and a smaller structured library and you find it difficult to remember to set the date before transferring from one library to another.

These are all conditions that make your use case, specific, as in likely to affect a small fraction of the user base.
