mkdir also has the -m argument, so you could do
mkdir -m 1755 dir

interestingly -m does not apply to parent directories created with -p

If you wanted to deal with the -p, I would remove it and not pass it to mkdir, 
but create them yourself in the function. I'd use parameter expansion to deal 
with parts of the path 1 by 1.
