to_timestamp() produces timestamp *with* timezone, so your WHERE query
is effectively
t.timestamp_in::timestamptz >= to_timestamp('20070101', 'YYYYMMDD')
which doesn't match the index.
The first question you should ask yourself is whether you picked the
right datatype for the column. IMHO timestamp with tz is the more
appropriate choice in the majority of cases.
If you do want to stick with timestamp without tz, you'll need to cast
the result of to_timestamp to that.
Alternatively, do you really need to_timestamp at all? The standard
timestamp input routine won't have any problem with that format:
t.timestamp_in >= '20070101'
