When I upgraded about 4 or 5 years ago from iMovie to FCP, I ran into this same issue and never found a solution. My workaround is to import in iMovie to the server and trim the footage in FCP. That way, the original import still retains the time/date info in the filename.
The only footage where I find myself needing the time/date info is for home movies anyway, everything else generally has script notes, timecode, window burns, etc.
