Default SumIf: use of greater or less than operators in Criteria

Why can't the SumIf formula accept logical operators within the Criteria field?
I am trying to have the formula sum up all cost items in the sheet for which
the associated date in another column is less than or equal to a threshhold
date, for example:
=SUMIF(D13:D62,<=K1,H13:H62)
where K1 was the cell address containing the threshhold date.

Apparently the SumIf formula in Excel is restricted to use with Criteria
that have to be an exact match rather than a range, and its usefulness is
dramatically reduced by this unnecessary restriction.
