Calibre converts some files during import (html) and always renames the file. This can cause the loss of some data if the conversion goes badly, or if the filename included metadata that wasn't properly picked up during the import process.
Leaving the original file is a safe and easy backup that allows you to redo it when it goes wrong. Generally, it's pretty easy to manually delete the file/folder, so I suspect Kovid would rather you take responsibility for that simple step, than have Calibre do it. Of course, you can always request the feature.
