Since you specified the x/y coordinates of your data set, you have to set your xAxes scale type as time in your chart options. 

var options = {
  scales: {
    xAxes: [
      {
        type: "time"
      }
    ]
  }
};

See official docs for all possible configurations or check the options used in the working example below.

Important: You have to change the date format in your data set to something like 'YYYY-MM-DD' otherwise moment would throw this warning.

Deprecation warning: value provided is not in a recognized RFC2822 or ISO format. moment construction falls back to js Date(), which is not reliable across all browsers and versions.
