React MultiDatePicker changing date format sent to the server

Question

I'm using MultiDatePicker to send multiple dates to my server, the console.log(date) show it in the intended format (2022/08/08) but when it is sent you get something like the next data, any help on sending the data on format yyyy/mm/dd or anything similar would be appreciated

"startingDate": [
1659934800000,
1661922000000,
1661317200000,
1661749200000,
1661058000000,
1660453200000,
1661230800000
],

import DatePicker, { DateObject } from "react-multi-date-picker";
import DatePanel from "react-multi-date-picker/plugins/date_panel"

const date = new DateObject().format()
const [startingDate, setStartingDate] = useState(date);

console.log(startingDate)
console.log(date)

<DatePicker 
  value={startingDate} 
  onChange={setStartingDate} 
  multiple
  name="startingDate"
  plugins={[
    <DatePanel />
  ]} />
