Currently if I want to call someone in Japan, or Australia I already cant say I will call you tomorrow afternoon, because its already tomorrow when I get up.

Yes, but these kind of long distance calls affect only a handful of people. A best before date on a food packaging or a lot of other situations where only the day is given from a date would become more complex for a lot of places, and they would affect the life of far more people.
