I'm just wondering if it is on purpose that the date is inserted into a MongoDB collection as a string instead of a date field.

Just that the Mongo handler is fairly rudimentary. I'm open to improvements though! :)

Ok, I was just curious. But I did some digging and found out that the Mongo date field does not include a timezone. Thus it probably makes sense for a logger to use a string instead. (Otherwise I would have changed it and sent you a pull request.)
