If the metadata is included in the books:
Preferences > Adding books > Reading metadata > Uncheck 'Read metadata from file contents.' If the filename is something like 43423842824343.epub, you'll have to enter all that info manually.
If the metadata is downloaded:
Preferences > Metadata Download > Metadata fields to download > Uncheck the ones you don't want.
For tags specifically, check out the tag mapper.
For the date field specifically you can't set a default for that. You can use the bulk metadata editor to clear it from multiple books at once though.
