How to retrieve the date a photo was taken from iCloud

This royally infuriates me.

I just downloaded all of my photos from iCloud (thank you Apple for this amazing service) and I see that there's no metadata on the date the photo was taken.

Obviously there is that data on my phone and in iCloud because they are somehow able to sort the photos by date but once its downloaded that line item in the metadata is missing.

This is absolutely atrocious. This is my data. I own it. Why is Apple cutting out key components of MY data? What in the actual F?

Can someone please tell me there's a way to get the capture times on my photos? This is devastating.

That is unfortunately over my head. Wouldn't it be nice if finder could allow us to display columns of the metadata that we want? It would be nice to just check a box and bam, a new column of data comes up in Finder. having to take this to a command line makes it very silly.

I just want to be able to easily locate the day my Niece was born. How difficult does that have to be? This is quite funny.
