Actually, --export-format (or -x for short) would be extremely useful to
implement #58197. I don't really see the point of --scale, but that's
because I never write "documents" with dia, only "figures" which I then
embed into documents, whose document processor is smart enough to handle
scaling itself (but I understand that it would be useful to some).

The GNOME build of dia has some support for --export-format; you can try
something like:
  
for Fin in *.dia
do
  Fout=`basename $Fin .dia`.fig
  dia-gnome --export $Fout $Fin
done

however, the --export-format would be much nicer (and useful for non-Win32
too, since it would lead to simpler shell scripts).
