Is there any software/site where you can enter two dates in the past + hashrate, and get the result how many BTC was mined in the period between these two dates?


yes but not exactly .  You can go to bitcoin wisdom calculator  and play around with settings.  


 Lets say you want Jan 1 to March 1 2014 .

 An antminer s-1  set at 200gh.  you do this.

go to this link.

https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty

determine the diff on jan 1 2014.

 it was  1,180,923,000 for 1 day jan 1                                 1 day 200gh earned .08517  x 1 = .08517

it was   1,418,481,000 for 11 days jan 2 to jan 12                1 day 200gh earned  .07091 x 11 = .78001

it was   1,789,546,951 for 11 days jan 13 to jan 23               1 day 200gh earned .05621 x 11 = .61831

it was  2,193,847,870 for  12 days jan  24 to feb 4                1 day 200gh earned .04586 x 12 = .55032

A shit load of math for someone that wants to get an idea of what the gear earned

I've got this using calculator, from Jan 1st to Feb 28th: 2.8546 BTC

It differs with your calculation on 2nd decimal, maybe a rounding error.

Those figures don't take into account variance of the pool's luck.  If the pool had horrible luck during a certain time it would have made 90% of earnings and if it was lucky it could have made 110% of earnings.  So the number it shows is expected earnings.  The reality is any downtime, DDoS or pool luck variances would have altered true earnings.  It's not a big deal unless a pool had really good or really bad luck the first 1 or 2 difficulties that you mine since that's when most of your coin is generated.
