You need to remove the redundant weekday first with substr(), then anydtdte will recognize the date:
data test;
input datestr $30.;
i = index(datestr,' ');
date = input(substr(datestr,i),anydtdte30.);
drop i;
format date weekdate30.;

You only have dates, so a datetime format won't work.
The anydtdte informat can read a written (US style) date:
data test;
input date anydtdte30.;
format date yymmddd10.;
