I agree that it looks strange without the date and mint mark on the obverse. As far as an eagle being on alot of our coins, well, its pretty much for the most part, the way its always been and probably will continue to be. The Eagle is a symbol of America in alot of different ways, so they put it on American coins. Personally, I'd rather have some representation of an Eagle on our coins than what these "artists" are coming up with.
