I'm a data person myself, and while it's immensely frustrating to me that we can't make apples-to-apples comparisons between states, I don't think data collection is the actual issue. They already have enough actionable data to identify where the outbreaks are, how fast they're spreading, etc. but local governments will make decisions however they want anyway. If our federal government wants to push us to re-open, the best thing they could do is provide a substantial amount of federal funding so that tests are available, for free, to anyone who wants one.
