Currently the placeholder is recognized as value by screenreader. Therefore it is read as first element when entering date picker. The placeholder should not be treated as value but added as aria-describedby.

Here is an example how it should work: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/dialog-modal/examples/datepicker-dialog/
