That code was written by your operating system vendor, or by your
system administrator, or by you. It's not something that comes from
upstream bash.

You can edit the file yourself and make it work however you like. You
have the right idea, but I'd write it like this:
if [[ -d ~/.bash_aliases.d ]]; then
for f in ~/.bash_aliases.d/*; do
[[ -f $f ]] && source "$f"
done
fi
Variable expansions need to be quoted inside [ but not inside [[.
