Agreed that an early morning outbound with early afternoon return would be much more useful.
I still don't get though why RDU-SLC was taken away. As you point out travelers will use the alternative connections to west coast so plenty of LAX and SFO traffic would go through, as well as other smaller west coast destinations. I guess DL figure that going through ATL is a wash, but still cannot believe they cannot squeeze in one or even two dailies to their hub in Utah
