I want populate value in a front-end form

For a dropdown your example is :

function my_acf_load_field( $field ){
    $field['choices'] = array('custom' => 'My Custom Choice');
    return $field;
}
add_filter('acf_load_field', 'my_acf_load_field');

I’have found for a field text or textarea :

function my_acf_load_field( $field ){
    $field['default_value'] = "2010-02-21 00:00:00";
    return $field;
}
add_filter('acf_load_field', 'my_acf_load_field');

But I don’t found for Date type (datepicker)

Can you help me please.

for populate a filled out value at frontend you can do something like that:

<?php
/*
*  Create PHP DateTime object from Date Piker Value
*  this example expects the value to be saved in the format: yymmdd (JS) = Ymd (PHP)
*/

$date = DateTime::createFromFormat('Ymd', get_field('date_picker'));
echo $date->format('d-m-Y');
?>

official Datepicker Documentation

or did you wish to prefill a datepicker field?
