I suggest to use the RulesRules module for that. Bulk deletion is explained in one of the first tutorial video's in this series: https://drupalize.me/videos/introduction-rules?p=1157

What you should do:

  1. enable Rules and Rules UI
  2. create a new Component of type "action set"
  3. actions to add: a loop thru the nodes and if the date matches, the node should be deleted

The Views_rules ModuleViews Rules module might be usefull to use views to send the nid's of the nodes to delete to the rules component. I learned a lot about this on via the accepted answer to "this forum-questionHow to pass arguments to a view from Rules?".

An alternative could be views_bulk_operations Modulethe Views bulk operations (VBO) module, which has a "bulk deletion" out of the box. You add a VBO-field in your view and select the "delete" as the action. Maybe this is even better than the Rules (in the way that it will take less time to understand and implement).
