First a spreadsheet is not a math program and is not mathematically correct and most likely will never be. Now to the issue at hand. A number format is not a unit, it is a cell property that tells the program how to format the numbers. In the end they are still just numbers and have no internal unit. There are some ideas around implementing a real unit system for spreadsheet cells in calc but that is not even under development. That would then realize that adding a currency to a time is just wrong. As you can try yourself you can easily do that today as it is just a formatting and not a unit. Currently the seen behavior is correct that the number format (if none is set yet to the cell) is taken from the source cells.
