I was also looking at that problem, but in a different direction.
Rather than making -d work in the tools date (either by somehow
making parsedate work - which really isn't worth the effort for
this, or via your hack) but by using -j and specifying the date
in canonincal form instead of parsedate random form.
That is, it is trivial to make
date -j '+whatever format you like' 202401220314
work (including in the tools date), provided you can convert the date
string you're starting with into that canonical form - that takes make
magic, a topic of which I am barely aware exists, let alone competant,
so that was as far as I took it...
