Well then, 01/01/3111 is not actually the next "odd" date: its actually "11/11/3111"

Yes.

It passes any and all tests for being even. It is a multiple of 2 (0 = 0×2). It is one less than an odd number. Even × even = even. Even × odd = even. Etc etc.

Common definition of even is that x is even iff x mod 2 == 0, which holds for 0, so 0 is even
