“Good day” is generally considered to be a wish, not a description. I’ve never heard anyone say, “lousy day,” even when it was.
My friends in Denmark often make it more explicit by saying (I translate), “Have a good day.” And they work many variations, such as, “Have a continued good day,” or “Have a good weekend.”
And I like to wish folks, “Have a good day… and many more!”
The worst thing I can imagine is, I say “good morning” and it turns out it’s a few minutes past noon. Or “good afternoon” and it’s just 11:50. And when does it stop being afternoon and turn to evening?

It’s just so stressful.
I exaggerate.

I always say “Good Morning”, it seems easier than finding out the actual time, and I sincerely want you to have a Good Anytime.

Well he doesn’t have a cell phone so he has trouble keeping track of what part of the day it is. Hey, at least it included ‘good’.
