Maybe something along this:

(org-add-agenda-custom-command
 '("d" tags "Bauteil={.+}"
   ((org-agenda-skip-function 
     '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 'notregexp
     "[0-9]\\{4\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}")))))

You cannot inherit a timestamp (or scheduled/deadline value) for now.
If you are using the date not only for getting this entry displayed at
the right place in the agenda view, maybe you could add a "Month"
property?  Then you can use it for searches like any other property.

Why not... but the agenda view is already a way to "search" for entries,
no?
