You need to convert date object in the input type="date" format which is yyyy-mm-dd, this is how it will work

Template:

Component (TS):

export class App {
  startDate: any;

  constructor() {
    this.startDate = new Date(2005, 1, 4);
  }

  set humanDate(e){
    e = e.split('-');
    let d = new Date(Date.UTC(e[0], e[1]-1, e[2]));
    this.startDate.setFullYear(d.getUTCFullYear(), d.getUTCMonth(), d.getUTCDate());
  }

  get humanDate(){
    return this.startDate.toISOString().substring(0, 10);
  }
}
