Because people annually celebrate new year (like year of tiger), so ask year is useless. Date only point at the day of a month
几=question asking about the no. of the date. 几月几号? 几(what)月(month)几(what)号(day)? In chinese, most of the inquisitive sentences (except the yes/no question-which you'd just add 吗 at the end) are likely to have the same sentence structure as the answer they are looking for, the question markers such as 什么,多少,几,哪,怎么,etc. Like this question, it could be answered: "七月四号“ = "July 4" 七月=July, 四号=4th day.

The only reason I can think of is 今天幾號 - what date is it today 幾月幾號 - what date is it? i.e. one without today, but I would imagine in normal day to day conversation, both should be accepted

今天几月几号 was not accepted, but I feel like the spirit is close enough that it should be fine, despite not being literal.
