in other words you are missing the point.
Just because you have Word, I have Word, my wife has Word doesn't make Word any better then it is. That's the point. Word creates styles that are not used, it has too many auto things that should be turned off. What comes out of Word and goes into making an ePub is garbage in/garbage out. That is the point. So no, I am not missing the point.

In fact, if you feel you have to use Word, take the resulting ePub, run it through Sigil and spend as long as it takes to make the code look nice and the ePub look nice using ADE. That's the best you can do. I've not tried a Calibre created ePub from Word in Sigil 0.4.2. So I don't know how Sigil will clean things up. There could be a lot of work by hand including renaming files.
