Replace original name with custom date format

It does depend on which date and times you are talking about...

Name(2) can use "Remove" to remove all of the text inside your original filenames.
AutoDate(8) can use a "Custom" like %Y-%m-%d %H.%M.%S to format any of the dates.

You might need to set, Renaming Options -> Prevent Duplicates, depending on your situation.
