Documentation from Angularjs:

You should bind to date-type input with only date-type data. By new Date(parameter) will generate a date object of your data.

angular.module("app", [])
  .controller("myCtrl", function($scope, $filter) {
    //$scope.testDate = $filter('date')(Date.now(), 'yyyy/MM/dd');
    $scope.testDate = new Date('2017-05-03');
  });

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.4/angular.min.js"></script>
<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="myCtrl">
  <input type="date" ng-model="testDate">
</div>
