Adopting ANYONE's planet-based calendar wouldn't work in a galactic civilization. That's why stardates were invented; they're universal, with the added bonus of accounting for the relativistic effects of FTL.
Any given civilization might use a local calendar for day-to-day events. But interplanetary subspace Zoom calls will be scheduled via stardate.
