EPS is AFAIK a vector format. svg is a vector format. So why can't Inkscape import it?

Because converting between vector formats is very difficult. It's nothing like converting between bitmap formats. It's more like rewriting an arbitrarily complex program from one programming language to another.

Anyway, as others mentioned, development version has very good support for PDF and AI import. Just use PDF as much as possible and avoid PS/EPS.
