Replace the first four lines of the macro with these three lines:
<$vars target=<<now YYYY-0MM-0DD>>>
<<target>>
<$vars todayfilter="[<currentTiddler>get[task_date]match<target>]">
Notes:
1) Assign the date to the target variable in one step. There's no need for
"now_date".
2) The filter needs <currentTiddler> preceding get[task_date], otherwise it
will get the task_date value from *every* tiddler that has that field!
3) The compare "mode" should be "eq" (abbreviation of "equal") not "eg".
4) For a simple string comparison, you can use the "match" filter operator.
Let me know how it goes,
enjoy,
