The use case I have was that I was looking for a flight within a month long period, but wanted to find the cheapest flight for a morning departure. (Looking to book a 2 day trip somewhere, didn't care about dates, but wanted maximum time on the ground while minimizing cost). If it's too hard to implement, I'm fine with using Excel.
If we only look at non-stops, that's trivial.

But what if you have multi-stop itinerary. Does that mean the FIRST flight needs to depart between 1200-1600, or EACH flight needs to depart in that range, or...

It's definitely something I'd find useful (I hate 6am flights), but I want to figure out exactly what we want before I build it.
