Ok, but I've seen similar sentences in "American English File 1" English teaching book! Page 35. It reads:
"-What's your favorite time of day? Why? -My favorite time of the day is breakfast."
"-What's your favorite time of day? Why? -My favorite time of the day is breakfast."

That's old English. And it's probably an idiom at this point.

It's not an idiom. It might be a typo. Thanks for your concern anyway.
