On my end,

  (defmacro with-org-today-date (date &rest body)
    `(cl-letf (((symbol-function 'org-today) (lambda () (date-to-day ,date))))
       ,@body))
  
  (with-org-today-date "2017-07-05 00:00"
    (let ((org-agenda-files (list "~/test.org"))
          (org-agenda-span 'day))
      (org-agenda-list nil)))

produces the same result as your original macro.
