Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe what you are trying to do.
Following #3746 the CSV schema inference infers datetime strings as Timestamps, not Date64, as this was incorrect #3744.
However, the CSV reader still uses datetime_regex for Date64 columns, which is incorrect.
Following #3794 the timestamp parsing logic has got a whole lot more sophisticated, and it is unclear how to support arbitrary format strings with it.
Describe the solution you'd like
Given this functionality has been broken since #3746 and nobody has noticed, and no tests failed, I think we should just remove it
Describe alternatives you've considered
