If you're going to be analysing data and the dates have any role in that, conversion to a proper date format is more or less unavoidable. Regardless of what the date is in Excel, though, it can be formatted to appear in just about any format you want for pasting into another app. Besides which, why are you 'sending back' anything other than the results of the analysis? It seems pointless to be trying to re-export the data as well.
