Is there a method for retaining historical data when renaming hosts/services?

Why yes, there is...

... by using the Bulk Renaming Tool under CCM > Tools > Renaming Tool

"The Renaming Tool allows for host and service names to be updated in bulk, while retaining all historical status information and performance data. The renaming tool updates configurations based on what is defined in the Core Config Manager."
