I fully agree. I'm not conviced at all by the argument that "cp does the same". That's like saying we can't copy directories in nautilus just because cp without -r can't copy directories, either. In my opinion, copying files in nautilus should be like cp --archive, i.e. it should preserve symlinks, mtime, permissions, and copy directories recursively.
