[Feature] Backup only images starting from a particular date

The feature

Hi 👋 I started using Immich recently and it's amazing!

I've bulk uploaded my existing library (~60k assets) using CLI. I also installed the immich app to start automatically backing up new photos. However, my entire library is also backed up to icloud. The app is now trying to synchronize the entire icloud library. I understand that immich will probably detect and ignore the duplicates, but that's not the problem. The problem is that I'm using the "optimized library" mode in iOS, so not all images are stored locally. Immich is now trying to download all the 60k photos, upload them to the server to then detect that they are duplicates. This will probably take forever.

I wonder if it's possible to add a new feature to tell the immich app to only consider images older than a particular data.
