I think that is the reasoning for the current behaviour of
send-email, but it is not unreasonable to have an option to
always add in-body From: and Date: headers to send-email, with a
blessing from a recent post from Linus to the kernel mailing
list:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/582450
Notice the part he says he appreciates Andrew's practice and
talks about message being further forwarded by somebody else.
