There is no point in using `start_date` in `default_args`. `start_date` should only be used on task level if a user likes to have a different start_date for that particular task. https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/42543c58dcaf488fc233969cb7cad5f49a9fec9f/airflow/models/dag.py#L1335-L1343 If start_date is specified on both dag level and task level, the max between them is selected <!-- Thank you for contributing!
