Does anybody here understand the logic behind how and where your camera automatically sets up folders in which to save images, especially with regards to the names given to such folders and the dates associated with them?

I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

My Canon creates a new folder every thousand images. It also permits me to create folders, but I've never used that feature.

It's a basic default, as eluded to, based on your camera's software!

As soon as those sorts of things are created I rename them so that they can be recognised.

My computer just swallows the images in a completely random way, and I can never find them again.

Your computer doesn't swallow the images, you permit your computer to swallow the images.
That's like saying "the car drove into the tree".
Even if you're using something as simple as iPhoto, I strongly suggest that you get a card reader and download your image files into a folder you create on your computer. Then return the card to the camera and reformat the card the way the camera's menus tell you to.
Then you will know where your image files are.
