Sure, and that would be fine if CC actually did that coherently, but it doesn't. From the users point of view the default behaviour does not work as expected, or indeed logically. When you delete and reimport a book in Calibre then on sync CC changes the image etc to show the new book information, but the epub is for the old book. That's a bug from the users point of view. If you connect to the content server it wrongly claims that you have the new book on your device, which you don't. That's a bug from the user's point of view. CC should logically either leave it unchanged as you suggest above, ie treat the old book as completely different from the new book, or change it properly to the new book. Either would be logical and understandable, but the current behaviour makes it look like it's doing one thing while it's actually half doing another.
OK, so maybe CC has been programmed to do that (but surely this behaviour is an unfortunate side-effect rather than deliberate?) but it surely looks very like a bug from the user end.
