This is a known issue, and what is "correct" is a matter of opinion,  
depending on how you choose to use KMyMoney.  I also personally prefer  
to use the date written instead of date cleared, but that means your  
balance does not always match what the bank thinks your balance is.   
Unfortunately, when matching a imported and a  manually entered  
transaction, the imported date is given preference.  In some cases,  
what I have done it so include the date written in the memo, and allow  
the cleared date to be used.  It is a similar issue with transaction  
date vs posted date for credit card transactions.

I suppose you could file a wish list item at bugs.kde.org to request  
that this be a configurable option (I don't think there is already such  
a request, but I am not certain) but it will likely be a rather low  
priority, as all current developer efforts are going toward completing  
the migration to KDE Frameworks.
