I'm curious why you'd want the start date printed 4 times?

To do that, you'd want to move your for loop outside of the
while loop, I think.  Though there is, as usual, more than
one way to do it. ;)

I think this is one way, as a hopefully helpful example
which includes the minor changes I mentioned in my previous
message.

    #!/bin/bash

    start=$1
    end=$2

    start=$(date -d ${start//./-} +%Y%m%d)
    end=$(date -d ${end//./-} +%Y%m%d)

    for i in {1..3}; do
	date -d"$start" +%Y.%m.%d
    done

    while (( start < end ))
    do
	date -d"$start" +%Y.%m.%d
	start=$(date -d"$start + 1 day" +%Y%m%d)
    done

This could be improved (arguably) by keeping the date
strings in a form which the date command understands and
only formatting them with "." separators when printing for
output.
