Try this. May be it would help.

You can write formcalc script on DATE field in 'preSubmit' event to validate the specified format and a message to pop up.

FormCalc script -

if (data.subform#.DATE.format != 'specified format')

then

xfa.host.messageBox("Please enter DATE in YYYY-MM-DD format only")

endif

As you have already specified the DATE format in paletts -> objects -> bindings, it will not accept any other format entered. The above script will let a message to pop up displaying the same message.
