Frodo's delay was due to the Blackrider. Afterall that is the first big problem when The Gaffer stops the Blackrider. If Frodo had left earlier we would not have had that drama or the porblem at weathertop. In all honesty I believe it was a plotdevice also the birthday was an important time in the hobbit so as a continuence it was important in LOTR.
