{{{date()}}} works as does {{{date(%D)}}} in a sense,
only the format string doesn't seem to influence the
output, which is "September 16, 2020".
(info "(org) Macro replacement")
‘{{{date}}}’
‘{{{date(FORMAT)}}}’
This macro refers to the ‘#+DATE’ keyword. FORMAT is an optional
argument to the ‘{{{date}}}’ macro that will be used only if
‘#+DATE’ is a single timestamp. FORMAT should be a format string
understood by ‘format-time-string’.
(describe-function #'format-time-string)
[...]
%D is like "%m/%d/%y".
[...]
So it should work according to these parts of the
documentation...
