Sorry, but that's wrong. My Calibre setup does not do any of those changes to the ePub when added to the library. LIie I said before, you just have to set the correct options to get Calibre to not modify the ePub automatically.
In the Editor, Edit > Preferences > Integration with calibre
Uncheck "Update metadata embedded in the book when opening"
In the Viewer, Preferences > Miscellaneous options
Uncheck "Keep a copy of bookmarks/current page inside the e-book file, for easy sharing"
I'm hoping this is correct. In Calibre, Preferences, Adding books > Adding actions
Uncheck "Automatically convert added books to the current output format" and "When auto-converting, convert even if the format being added is the same as the output format"
Next in Calibre, Preferences > Saving books to disk
Uncheck "Save cover separately" and "Update metadata in saved copies"
That might be all you need to to stop the ePub from being automatically being changed when you don't want it to.
