I'm not completely sure, but I think there may be confusion here.

Daily statistics will aggregate sub-daily data to daily data, i.e. it will take, for example, 6-hourly data at hours 0, 6, 12, and 18 and calculate the mean as their sum divided by 4. This is in line with the other statistics preprocessors for time (hourly, monthly, seasonal, annual, and decadal).

It sounds like what you are trying to do is take daily data across many years and turn this data into daily data that is representative of the data in the entire timespan, i.e. average all first of January across all the years etc. This is called a climatology and can be calculated with the climate_statistics preprocessor.
