"09/081/2021" is a valid text string an not incorrect data. Imagine you are a
manufacturer and you spare parts are numbered this way. What bug report will
you write if you
- every time you enter such value getting a warning that your part number
(text) is an invalid date  --or--
- you get it turned into a date without notice

You have been explained that formatting a cell is not an *input* filter and
that there is a functionality called "data validity" (Data -> Validity), which
allows to create a customized validity check of data entered into cells.
