You could rename the DATE and TIME commands in COMMAND.COM. (You must use a HEX editor to change them.) However DATE and TIME functions still exist in QBASIC and in 3rd Party Applications.

Backup your COMMAND.COM Open COMMAND.COM in your HEX EDITOR. DATE and TIME labels are stored near the end of the file.
Your HEX Editor should have the ability to toggle ASCII Display.
My DATE occurs at offset HEX C181
Boot your system to test. I would recommend doing it on a floppy.
