Ok, it may be convenient in that specific case, but it still looks like
a hack to me. Another solution would be to implement a function to
navigate between time-stamps, similar to `org-next-link'. One can even
generalize this function to move to the next non-structural element
(time-stamp, link, footnote, latex snippet, emphasized text)[1].

This is different. `org-open-at-point' is an end-user function, whereas
`org-at-timestamp-p' isn't. I don't think predicates should be sloppy:
I don't want to implement `org-really-at-timestamp-p'.
Furthermore, being loose isn't always convenient. In the following
example, where will I go if I use C-c C-o on the space between the two
links?

I'd suggest to fix `org-at-timestamp-p', and allow, if it must be,
sloppiness in `org-shiftleft' and friends.

of an interesting Org parser.
