Can we change so that emails less than 7 days old Also display as a date?
No. This behaviour cannot be changed in iPad settings.
Apple does invite submission of feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to ask for more flexibility in how the data and time of recently received email messages are displayed within that native Mail App, this would be the most appropriate channel to make your request:
The day of the week appears for those emails less than seven days old. Older emails display a date.
