Setting a task as a Weekly Goal is not the same as expecting it to be completed sometime in the current week. There is no direct correlation between dates and goals. I do not date my tasks unless they truly are due on a specific date, so most of my Weekly Goals do not have dates. Conversely, if a task has a due date within the next week, that doesn't necessarily make it one of my Weekly Goals.
I can think of two immediate advantages of making a task a Weekly Goal. First, those tasks will be organized under Weekly Goals in the Outline view: Goals. Second, those tasks will get a power boost and will show up near the top of your To-Do view. For me, this is desirable as I want the tasks designated as Weekly Goals to rise to the top of my To-Do list. If you don't like this effect, it sounds like you would be better served by not using the Weekly Goal parameter, and simply use Due Dates and create your own custom Weekly Goal view by using Due Dates instead.
