If the ticket was being re-issued then sure, I agree there may be a price change due to taxes - but changing a date should not involve this.

Perhaps I misunderstood. I thought that you were asking why AA had to send the ticket to the rate desk when there's no change fee if you don't change ticketed points, and only change dates/times/carriers. Yes, there's no change fee, but the agents with whom you deal don't know whether there's been a change in taxes, etc., since the ticket was first issued. That's what the rate desk does.
