How to add “time” data this?

Well, the code you are using to count views does store the count data as a custom_field value. If I want the functionality you mentioned in question, I’d rather use a custom plugin to create a separate table in database to store view count and respective dates. So doing some queries you can display popular posts by date/month etc.
