There are many ways of approaching this. Other answers provide a way to do it just with arguments passed to split - however the version of split on ubuntu 12.04 don't appear to support the arguments used in those answers.

Here is one. This splits the files and uses the default option on split to prefix the file names with an x. It then lists the files in order and renames them as required.

    split -l 100 date.csv
    i=1
    for x in `ls x* | sort`
    do
        mv $x date_$i.csv
        i=$(($i+1))
    done

this line does it in one-shot:

split --numeric-suffixes=1 --additional-suffix=.csv -l100 data.csv data_

little test (from stdin):

kent$  split --version|head -1
split (GNU coreutils) 8.22

kent$  l   
total 0

kent$  seq 10|split --numeric-suffixes=1 --additional-suffix=.csv -l2 - data_      

kent$  l
total 20K
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 4 Mar 14 11:13 data_01.csv
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 4 Mar 14 11:13 data_02.csv
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 4 Mar 14 11:13 data_03.csv
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 4 Mar 14 11:13 data_04.csv
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 5 Mar 14 11:13 data_05.csv
