Custom Views normally don't get refreshed except for the addition of new incoming messages. Older messages stay in the list. So if you start with messages just for the last day, and leave the view open for several days doing nothing, you will end up with several days worth of messages in the view.
The Refresh List command will do the trick: Cmd-L. Closing and reopening the view will refresh it also. I use a double press of Cmd-Shift-O (Oh) to refresh "Unread Only". My view similar to yours starts showing only unread messages. Of course, as I read them, they become "read" messages, but they do not disappear from the list. That's desirable, because I often want to take some action on them after reading, or re-read them. But when I am ready to have the list showing only unread messages again, a double-press of that keystroke will first show all messages (read and unread) and then will limit it to unread only again, effectively eliminating the read messages from the list. Your trick with the Dismissed category is a good idea, too.
