A problem with banning date-redirects in KSKs is that it would requrire the 
SSKs private key to redirect into that SSK.  Being able to redirect into 
someone else's SSK is useful functionality we probably don't want to forbid.

But you're right, putting a date redirect to an SSK in a KSK is usually the 
wrong thing to do.
