What's up with the expiration date on thread police?

What is up with all of the people bashing people posting in old threads and then beating themselves up for it too? Is this just an internet etiquette issue that makes no sense in terms of functionality? I think so.
Why shouldn't people tack on to an existing thread if they want to bring the issue back up? Seems to make more sense than posting loads of duplicates threads where you can't keep all the info in one spot. If no one wanted to talk about it, they wouldn't respond to the bumping.
If it was that big of a deal, wouldn't MFP just delete old threads? I personally would rather see information consolidated than spread out in 5000 threads each about eating less than 1200 calories per day, 30 Day Shred, starvation mode, eating late, or drinking water.

Bump an old thread: Get accused of forum necromancy.
Start a new thread: Get told to use the search function.
Solution: Ignore wankers.1 -

And then I don't notice it was an old thread and I post and then feel like an idiot.0 -
