If they dropped what's the point?

When a domain drops or gets transferred to a new registrar, sometimes the registration date resets.
However, the original creation date remains the same.

You're wrong about transfers. Transfers will never reset the registration date. When a domain drops, yes, the registration date does get reset.

That said, the original point by @HotKey remains. What is the point of the reg date resets?

While I don't have time to find examples, I have done enough transfers over the years that I believe I have seen resets on occasion when consolidating auction wins from Snapnames or Namejet to Godaddy.

CreditMarketplace.com Whois shows a creation date of 2002 but a Whois history going back to 1998.

To make the thread fruitful, you need to eliminate the dropped domains. Most people when asking for aged domains, are referring to domains registered from a certain date without dropping.
If a name was registered in 2002 and dropped in 2005. Then registered again last-month...then that's not what people are looking for.

To make it simple: basically if you do a whois search, the registration date should show 2002 or earlier..

The thread is not solid without this distinction.

I mean names registered yesterday, may have a drop history dating back to 2002. Would you buy my aged handreg from yesterday(aka once upon a time 2002) for good money?

There should be no drops between 2002 to present.
