to answer your Q: because I travel a lot and want all my stuff with me. (I actually have OVER 30.000 books, so this 2500 is a pretty tight selection. And also: because Kobo said I could!
I am used to reading books on a tablet. with astro or any other file-organizing app, u can create the perfect structures.
I only buy drag & play devices. I make a map on my pc, i want the same map on my external device, using the name I gave to the file. not some id-tag Crap...
why do I feel I have weeks and weeks of painfully slow sorting crap ahead???

You're going to end up creating the same number of shelves. Getting through them on the list page will take a bit longer, but you will get a feel for where they are, so you can jump to page 120 of 200 to get to a shelf.
Warning: The following is dangerous and should only be done if you know what you are doing!
Another alternative is to manually manipulate the database. Add a few shelves and add some books to those shelves so that you have a model. Make a backup of your kobo's files, get an editor for the Sqlite database and manually put together the shelves and shelf table. I think that there are two tables involved in putting books on shelves (in addition to the Content table), and it will go a lot quicker than doing it through the user interface.
