All I wonder is why tcpdump still hasn't any binary dump append feature.

Because nobody who needed that capability wrote code to implement it and 
contributed it to tcpdump-workers?

I've just discovered that our local tree (at my work) has a patch to
implement this functionality.  Unfortuantely it's not quite complete;
it doesn't check that the new link layer type is the same as the one
in the existing capture file.  I'll have a go at fixing it up and making
it available.
