First of all the priority lies on data already present on Wikipedia. Wikidata should not
be a data storage for everything structured in the world, so we should first start to
transfer data already present on Wikipedia to Wikidata.

Wouldn't that kind of transfer be a violation of the CC-BY-SA license
used on Wikipedia, considering it is not compatible[1] with CC0?
If the data is actually copyrightable, then yes. Facts as such are not
copyrightable. But if there was a bot transferring stuff from infoboxes, it
should at least check for any actual text (e.g. long values with spaces), and
not transfer it, because of license reasons.
