I do not think this would have stopped God from telling Moses what to write, I think if he wanted us to know the earth was a million years old, He would have had moses write it
How much prophesy did God have prophets put down where they could have not understood what it meant, yet he had them right it down anyway.
here is the thing,
was the physical world made for spiritual beings (satan)
or was the physical world made for physical beings (man)
if it was made for man (which I use as my basis) then God would have created the heavens and earth in a way to do what man needed,,
ie, It would have been formed complete for its purpose.
Man did not evolve, He created man fully formed
Creation (the universe including earth) could be created the same way, Not to evolve over millions or billions of years, but in its completed state in just a few days. (god can do this)
To you or I or any scientist, then the earth would appear to be billions of years old. Because of the reasons old earth people use (like how long it take light from the farthest start to appear on earth)

The word day is the most true and correct wording to use to teach of a time frame of creation, why because the word can go anywhere in the whole universe and mention creation as in a day and be true.
IMO by way of hypothesis if intelligent beings where to exists through out the universe then every Mentally Aware Neurotransmitter would comprehend what a day is by their own sun and how long the day is for them. yet still not speaking anything different that isn't true for them in their part of the universe.
Human science says the earth is 4.5 billion well this maybe true if standing on earth but upon leaving the earth does this concept of time change so this measurement of 4.5 billion years might be flawed. if say humans did travel to another planet Mercury, Jupitor or another solar system, the whole 4.5 billion years could goes right out the window but what would be constant is the measuring of one day on any planet orbiting around any sun, anywhere in the whole universe.
Even on earth there are examples of this, let's say for example I lived in Florida and was talking with a person in dead horse Alaska by phone for 3 days but they didn't have mechanical or digital clock or even a sundial, I probably would have a debate on my hands about how long the day is and or how many days it's been since talking with them. here's a time lapse vid of a 24 hour day in that place it doesn't look quite that easy to till how long the day is in that place.

then there's some more bigger measures this is of light speed as you mentioned, this is real for there is a speed at which you can see lightning and hear the Lightning or like holding a flash light in front of your eyes and turning it on there's a time frame at which the light takes to reach your eyes very small indeed but nonetheless exists. The atomic clock is based on the flickering light within a certain molecule Atom.
Oddly enough our own calanders are always changing because of trying to tell time.
