I checked the core for how range fields are handled. In 
t3lib_TCEmain::checkValue_input() it will only enforce upper and or 
lower limits if the following conditions are met:
- range is set
- the value is not equal to the checkbox field
- the value is not equal to the default field

In case of date fields the most logical configuration is that the 
default value is '0', which means no date set for TYPO3.
