Historical dates describe places visited, not the Doctor’s age or the order of every adventure. Parallel worlds and other planets require separate branches.
This is a set of representative episode settings, not a definitive universal chronology. There is no single current year for the entire universe.
Historical dates are not synchronized with today. Artwork is illustrative.
