Hi, First of all, kudos to you for looking through the services so carefully! :)
You're absolutely correct that there's an inconsistency here -- I'll follow up to see if we can fix this, although for compatibility reasons, any fix will be in a future version of the API. We avoid changing WSDLs for existing versions, since that can cause issues for users of the AdWords API. The good news is that the *DateRange* elements on Selectors <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201609/CampaignService.Selector#daterange> are left over from the days *long long* ago where AdWords API services returned reporting stats. Now that reporting stats are retrieved via reports <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/reporting> instead, the *DateRange* element is ignored by all services except reporting (see the *Note:* on Selector.dateRange <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201609/CampaignService.Selector#daterange>), so you should not set that attribute of your *Selector* when making non-reporting calls.
