(Updated) Your options are:

• As Satish answered, abandon logrotate and put a find script in cron
• You could even, use logrotate and put a find script in the postrotate command

Initially, I thought that changing the dateformat to match your logs might work but as Reid Nabinger pointed out the date format was not compatible with logrotate anyway. Recently, I tried to configure the same thing but for Java rotated logs that I wanted logrotate to delete. I tried the configuration below but it kept trying to delete all logs

/opt/jboss/log/server.log.* {
    missingok
    rotate 0
    daily
    maxage 30
}

I ended up just implementing what Satish suggested - a simple find with rm script in cron.
