Actually the 1918/7D buffalo is one of those key coins that can be identified even without a date.

if the date was restored and by some miracle we could discern the overdate, wouldn't it make sense that while the coin has been cleaned/damaged it now has more value (monetary or otherwise) than its previous dateless state?

Maybe not. Since the overdate can be identified even without the date I would prefer the undamaged original dateless one over the acid date "restored" one.
