DEADLINE is designed for tasks. Until DONE, entries with DEADLINE appear
in agenda as overdue. Is it what you generally want to see for tasks.
You can
1. Turn it into TODO and mark DONE once handled (when deadline has a
repeater, marking birthday DONE will re-schedule it and flip the todo
keyword back to TODO)
2. Just use timestamp like <2022-12-14 mer +1y> without DEADLINE. This
will make the birthday appear on the day of birthday in your agenda.
