The first thing you need to do is move acf_form_head(); to before get_header(); http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_form/

Then in functions.php

 
add_filter('acf/pre_save_post' , 'shareable_pre_save_post', 10, 1 );
function shareable_pre_save_post($post_id) {
  // check if this is to be a new post
  if ($post_id != 'new_shareable') {
    return $post_id;
  }
  // The date picker field
  // change field_563657f49b4d9 to the field key of your date field
  $postdate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime($_POST['acf']['field_563657f49b4d9']));
  
  // Create a new post
  $post = array(
    'post_type' => 'shareable',
    'post_title' => $_POST['acf']['_post_title'],
    'post_status'  => 'future',
    'post_date'  => $postdate
  );  
  
  // insert the post
  $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post ); 
  
  // return the new ID
  return $post_id;
}

Then in your template where you want to show the form

$args = array(
  'post_id'    => 'new_shareable',
  'post_title' => true,
  'field_groups' => array(3498), // change to ID of the field group to show
  'submit_value'    => 'Create post'  
);  
acf_form($args);
