If you really want but I'm somewhat unclear what you are trying to do. Normally you'd book sales to PnL + a cash account for the proceeds. If you group the transactions together under a single txn your income statement will all be grouped under that date. Maybe that's fine if you don't care about the history, just the lot details.
If you're trying to avoid a lot of tedious typing, you can probably get a history CSV from Etherscan and then use a CSV importer (or make your own) to import these automatically. You could always start like this and import more history as you have the need / desire for.
