The specific mistake, in this case, was the term:
 "Obsolete APKs"

The way I thought about it, none of my APKs were "obsolete", although I had
hundreds of APKs saved on the flash card, one for every version of app that
was ever installed (even though many were not currently installed).

Well, for whatever reason, even though these APKs were on the flash card in 
/mnt/extSdCard/data/software/apk/*.apk
ES File Explore must have found them and considered them *all* obsolete,
even though something like half of them were just recently used to install
the apps on the recently wiped system.

I don't know *what* criteria ES File Explorer uses for "obsolete".

The only think I know is that all the APKs were wiped out.
Not only the ones that were installed.
But even the ones that were not installed.

You would think that ES File Explorer would look for APKs wherever the
Android system stores "obsolete" APKs and not in a clearly user-defined
area!

Anyway, be forewarned about APKs in the ES File Explorer "Cleaner" tool.

Sure, it's my fault for even using the thing.
And it's my fault for not recognizing that, to ES File Explorer, "Obsolete
APKs" means *all* APKs on the entire system, no matter *where* they are.

That's not "obsolete" in my book.
That's *all APKs* no matter whether the apps are installed or not.

Anyway, lesson learned.
I realize this sounds like sour grapes, and, in a way, it is.
But, still - I wouldn't want YOU to go through this.
