BTW: Why doesn't Excel (or even Numbers) store times and dates as a timestamp? It would be much easier. Wouldn't it?
No matter how dates are stored, the application has to do calculations. Wouldn't a timestamp need the same kind of internal calculations? Doing math or calculating differences between times would be a lot simpler from the user perspective.

FileMaker uses timestamps for its internal date storage. Why not Excel?
