You need to look at your settings. Explore Prefs - Adding Books - Configure metadadata from filename for more options.
[Edit:] and don't forget to uncheck Read metadata from file contents on the same page.

It sounds like the commandline version of calibre conversion would suit you better. You'd need to write your own batch file but the ebook-convert command should let you do what you want to do.
