Yeah, but see, we're not celebrating Rosh Hashanah; we're celebrating Yom Kippur aka Ju Koon. With incorporated traditions from Rosh Hashanah and, well, Ju Koon.
I suppose you're right in that the central tradition is not anchored to Rosh Hashanah, and certainly not to Yom Kippur. And I suppose since Ju Koon is only anchored to Yom Kippur by virtue of the tradition belonging to a different holiday altogether, we could conceivably make up the date for Ju Koon. Heck, it could be in April.
But making up the date, imo, demeans the fact of it being a holiday. The beauty (and sometimes inconvenience) of a holiday is that it is when it is, not when it works out for you and assorted other people you want to make plans with. That's called a swanking. We haven't had one of those in a while either, btw.
Anyway, you have to be up for Christmas on December 25th, for Independence Day on July 4th. Ju Koon falls on a Friday night and Saturday this year, which is a big bonus for getting together. But that's when it is - and Ju Koon is trademarked, so don't even think of calling some other day "Ju Koon." The Ju's will sue.
