Studer, Martin [mstuder], 2020-07-20: I support this feature request.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 20 JUL 2020: We highly appreciate this suggestion and accept it for ILIAS 7. We would like to use the new Data Table with the new filters for this request. 

JourFixe-2020-09-14: We follow Michael's suggestion and accept the use of the new filters with the old data table implementation. In case the new data table is available within the ILIAS 7 beta phase, a substitution could be made as usability fix as well.

The feature has been implemented as described above. It uses the new UI-Filters in combination with the ilTable2GUI:
