Daniel, you might look into the use of MERGE tables, which are
essentially multipule identical MyISAM tables that look like one
table.

I'd recommend a single large table with a DATE/DATETIME field which would be
converted to a timestamp storage wise and would become an indexable integer.
Even 1,000,000+ rows shouldn't have that much of an effect.  You'll also have
the nice functionality of MySQL's date/time functions.
