If we stripped the time portion off, then that would ruin other use cases.
If we added the option, it would add additional complexity to an already complex product.
If we did anything, that's 1) changing requirements 2) taking dev time 3) taking QE time 4) Taking release management time for something that could be fixed by the client using the correct fields. This is such a non issue. Dev time isn't free.
I agree with everyone for most cases, but this situation is a terrible example and I don't agree that we should do anything about it. If the client imported it as a date field in our system it would solve the problem because we would strip it. Adding a feature to truncate data is terrible. You should never remove data for the client. What happens when someone uses that option by accident? Now that data is lost and they are unhappy.
