As to why Kobos don't support genuine folder navigation (thus I had to emulate it with my AutoShelf mod) you can only ask the developers I guess.
They're probably convinced their system is the superior, more comfortable one. It might be true if the user is computer agnostic...
The only way to get sane file names for ebooks is to use Calibre, but Calibre is after all a third party software and it tends to be ignored by manufacturers (they'd like you to just buy books at their own stores instead). Most ebook shops/download systems use random filenames (product ID of their shop system for that book or whatever) and that by itself would not be useful on a reader.
You can use Calibre, you can use mods to Kobos original firmware, or you can use alternative readers like KOReader, Coolreader. Lots of options even if Kobo does not behave the way you want it out of the box.

So to navigate these, you put the series name (your abbreviation) into the search bar so it will only list books of this series? That's good too, only I'm not sure if I could remember all the key words :-)
