I think even a week worth of blocks would have been enough duration to get a decent average, and keep the adjustment from being thrown off by a few longer block times, or really short ones, but a day definitely would be too short a time. So, the need for a smoothed out average explains why the adjustment doesn't happen daily, and the fact that 2016 is 6102 backwards explains why it was set at every 2016 blocks specifically.
