I have had to do it manually and as of this writing.....March 6 2021, there have been no fixes from MS.....so I create a new folder, transfer the photos/dump them into file explorer pictures and then manually move them to the right date folder. Of course THIS ALL SUCKS! What the hell. I hope they fix it sooner than later and I'm not sure how that even happened. It was so amazing before!
Downloading pictures wont save in folder by date
I'm not sure what happened but usually I can download pics from sd card and they go to a folder with the date. Now each pic is saved individually. How can I get it back to the way it was before.

"why you don't like this new improvement."
It is not an improvement and no one could possibly imagine it was an improvement to dump all the photos unorganised in the picture folder when you could previously save them in date order folders which were automatically created within pictures. Dropping this feature suggests there is no proper oversight of changes being made. That Microsoft removes features with little or no consideration for the end users.
