I have been trying without success, to understand just exactly what 
your question is. On one hand it appears you are using and like the 
flat destination directory you are putting your photos into. But on 
the other it sounds like you want to create new directories on the 
destination which correspond to the photo date. It also sounds like 
the dates of the photos on the destination are the current date, 
rather than the original date the photos were taken. On the 
destination the "date created" of each photo will be the date the 
copying was done, but the last modified date of the photo, which 
should be the date the photo was taken, should be the same as the 
original.

Could you clarify your problem, and what you would like to do, a 
little more for us?
