dates attribute is deprecated in version 2.0.x

alternative of that thing is 'selectDates(..)' method.

function(Y) {
var datepicker = new Y.DatePicker(
  { 
    trigger: '#presentationDate',
    popover: {
            zIndex: 1
        },
    ...... 
  }
 datepicker.selectDates(new Date()); // set default date in version 2.0.x using date picker object.
