The user should not be able to remove the Calendar button with Backspace, I'll send a patch for that.

The first part of the expected behavior - The selected date should be deleted. - is to be decided by the Layout team, if this functionality is expected for Backspace while on Calendar button or not under a separate bug, if that's okay.

Attachment: Bug 1804669 - Do not remove a Calendar button from date input on Backspace. r?Jamie,mconley

Prevent removing a Calendar button when a Backspace is pressed while it's focused for <input type=date> and <input type=datetime-local>.

This patch does not add cleaning the entire field as this is to be decided under a separate enhancement bug 1806587
