Seems that problem appears only for Remove-CalendarEvents cmdlet when we set its QueryStartDate parameter.
We have tested Set-Mailbox with StartDateForRetentionHold and EndDateForRetentionHold parameters and Set-MailboxAutoReplyConfiguration with -StartTime and -EndTime and these cmdlets worked just fine. For all cmdlets we have specified dates as object of DateTime type but error appears only for Remove-CalendarEvents.
Problem happens on different time formats, we have tested United Kingdom(dd/MM/yyyy) and Unkrainian(dd.MM.yyyy) formats and it seems that problem appears when day part is in the first place. Everything is ok when we using United Sates(M/d/yyyy) format.
We tried creating dates in different ways:
$date = Get-Date -Date "27.08.2020"
$date = [System.DateTime]::Parse("27.08.2020")
We even tried to specify the kind of days created, but that didn't change anything.

I've tested this case on another computer and it wasn't reproduced. I don't fully sure that problem is only in version of powershell but I have performed the same actions as on the first computer.
