You did not describe the problem -- only what you did. I notice that you have not added any matching groups, so3etc refer to nothing. To create a matching group, surround it with parentheses.

Add capturing groups to the pattern and change the order of the backreferences in the replacement:
Find What: <date>(d{4})(d{2})(d{2})</date>
Replace With: <previously-shown start="$1-$2-$3"></previously-shown>
See the regex demo.
