I gues every day didn't include April 1, 2001 b/c that won't work either.

No, it returned the right value. current_date returns a date of the format
'2001-05-01'. When you do arithmetic on it, it's converted to an integer.
20010501 - 1 = 20010500 so it gave the currect value. If you want to
subtract one day from a date do this:
SELECT DATE_SUB( current_date, INTERVAL 1 DAY );
