When "state=directory" the parameter mode says "The permissions the
resulting file or directory should have". There is no reason to use
"mode=preserve" if you don't want to change the mode. Simply remove
the line

  - name: use preserve mode
    file:
      path=/tmp/test
      owner=www-data
      state=directory
    become: true
