TT, I advise against this, use a new field for the dates you want to back date. I do not think this additional field is unneeded, on the contrary it is needed in my view.
Why? Because created date is an important record of when the tiddler was first created. One day it may get you out of a pickle because you can search for all this tiddlers you created in a batch on a particular date. It also supports recently created searches and a lot more potentially. I am happy to share the tools and methods to make use of an additional date field. In the same vein I put a journal-date field on my journals since the title is human readable it is useful having a date serial field for date range manipulation and more. In this case I may create a log entry for a past date and when I did this it is captured in the created date. I could list all journals that were "post dated" created after the day on which they represent. Just a view point I feel duty bound to share.
