Field "add_date" means date of creation, changing text in descriptions, price, ..., should not update this field to current date.

I'm pretty sure x-cart has always functioned this way. The problem with having a "fixed" add-date field is what happens if you clone a product? The add_date field should be the date the new product was cloned. Since x-cart is also "adding" new data to the new product (even though initially it is the same as what is being cloned), my guess is that "add-date" is simply "entering" the present time without checking if the field has data in it. Things could get quite messy if "checks" were added, and deciding when and when not to change the data could get extremely complex very quickly.
