Two things:
a) the fourth parameter of the function should be declared as
date[] and not as text[].
b) use =ANY instead of IN
Example:
CREATE TABLE t (id serial PRIMARY KEY, datum date);
INSERT INTO t (datum)
VALUES ('2000-01-01'), ('2001-01-01'), ('2002-01-01');
CREATE FUNCTION f(date[]) RETURNS SETOF integer
LANGUAGE sql STABLE STRICT AS
$$SELECT id FROM t WHERE datum =ANY ($1)$$;
SELECT * FROM f('{2001-01-01,2006-01-01}');
f
