I think that there are many that were killed by exposure and predators that would have a different opinon of that.

You seem to misunderstand.
Number-of-dates affect humans not nature. This is the issue.
Many things happened before the advent of numerical systems, but not so much as massive human-made destruction. This was a later development.
This is not about not being affected by nature, but by numbers. in pre-history no one would be anxious about 2012 or other number formalizations of time.
All people who were killed by exposure and predators would probably have a different opinion about everything, but I guess they wouldn't say most of the attacks were on a specific pattern of dates, or that one date become a symbol of an attack, or something like that, nor would they say that being eating by a dinasour is a human-made-destruction, unless someone drove tham into the animal's mouth.
