As others have also mentioned, they are not seeing the same issue that you
are, at least with the given details.  While your last message does list
the transaction dates in detail, it does not mention other factors such as
whether this, for you, is a new issue in a recent update or whether
reconciling in GnuCash is a process that you may be trying for the first
time, or whether you have verified the other steps, including checking the
starting and ending balances.

Now that release 3.6 is out, you (and others) can also check whether that
release behaves the same way.  Historically, others have not seen your
issue, but you are correct that it should not be requiring that
transactions be dated on the cleared date, unless you are specifically
trying to match dates to the dates shown on your bank statement.  For one
account in my data, I actually do try to do that.
