To be fair, all I showed was the default setting for oddFooterMarkup 
from titling-init.ly.  Nothing added; that is simply how LilyPond works 
out of the box.

Nearly everything, if not actually everything, LilyPond does by default 
is only a matter of convenience for users, not some sacred declaration 
of "meet, right, and salutary" structure and practice.  There is nothing 
apart from yourself that stops you from defining your own fields and 
adjusting the header/footer markups as is needed for you to complete 
your work.  Any system of organization you insist on is just that--yours 
solely to define, follow, critique, revise, and disregard as 
appropriate.

It might help to reconsider your understanding of header and footer, not 
as elements of structure, but as tools--specifically tools used when you 
need content to appear at the top or bottom of one or more pages 
irrespective of other elements.  Your original query was about placing 
something at the bottom of a page, and the response you have received is 
to leverage oddFooterMarkup as the most direct and minimally disruptive 
method.
