Kindles are a bit, well, crap when it comes to organizing collections. At least, that's as I understand it. As JS pointed out, doubtless Amazon could have modified the device to continue to allow users to organize collections on their devices via Calibre, without easily and accidentally trashing the collections, if they'd chosen to. They chose not to, instead preferring to enforce the collection system to be Amazon / cloud based, instead of device-based. Indeed, you don't have the ability to organize books into collections on a Kindle without registering it.
So basically, I stick to my advice to the OP. When it comes to collections, Kobo > Kindle, IMO, especially if you have a lot of books
