Description

The code example portraits the issue:

spark-sql (default)> select dateadd('MONTH', 1, date'2023-05-11');
[WRONG_NUM_ARGS.WITHOUT_SUGGESTION] The `dateadd` requires 2 parameters but the actual number is 3. Please, refer to 'https://spark.apache.org/docs/latest/sql-ref-functions.html' for a fix.; line 1 pos 7

The error says about number of arguments passed to DATEADD but the issue is about the type of the first argument.
