I think you answered your question. :)

That is how the "set date range" works; either approach is possible.
Having a bunch of filters that can be set only via the Find menu
is/would be confusing, I think.  I've been thinking about the idea of
putting meta-tags into the tag list.  Perhaps when you set a date
range it puts a new meta (or smart) tag in the tag list for you and
filters on it.  This would be a pretty different approach than the
all-inclusive find dialog many apps opt for, but I think it would be
neat, especially when combined with the -query branch's abilities.
