I am not going to get involved in the general discussion, but I will
state that the reason it is the way it is is because I thought it was
simpler to add the semicolon and timestamp automatically so as to be
absolutely sure it was always there, and in the correct format. This was
in the early days, when there was less to put into Received: (before
AUTH, before TLS).
