You could possibly do this with by replacing the file import plugins with your own. You would provide a post_import hook that would modify the date field whenever a format was imported.
You could write a user interface plugin that sets that field to "now" if the field is empty. However, this doesn't seem any better than selecting all books with the field empty then using bulk metadata edit to set the field to now.
Of course, you could change calibre itself to do what you want. You would then need to merge your changes into calibre whenever you upgrade.

Thank you very much for this response. I thought I might be missing the obvious and there was a simple solution. However, your reply confirms that there is no easy way to do this.
