Sorry about the loss of your data, but at this point the behavior of mv
etc. is relied on by so many people and scripts that we can't
realistically make the change you requested. You can, if you like,
create a shell script like this:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/mv -i "$@"
call this script "mv", and then put it into your PATH; that way, the
'mv' command will behave the way you like, for your usage.
