I want to create a smart mailbox filter to look inside the message content for dates that are different than the current date. Im thinking something like Future = Now.AddDay(5) or Past = Now.AddDay(-5) but I dont know if apple smart mailboxes supports these types of dynamic variables & if they do how to take advantage of them

I'm not quite sure what you're after, here.
Closest available within Mail and Smart Mailboxes on macOS Monterey are akin to the following:
Here's an intro to Smart Mailboxes (which are best considered to be saved searches):
... Use Smart Mailboxes in Mail on Mac - Apple Support
There's no means to process text within the mail messages akin to what you might be seeking here, and the macOS Shortcuts app lacks meaningful support for Mail, and I also don't know of a way to do this with Automator.
Past what's available, send your feedback to the folks at Apple:
Pending any changes from Apple, you're probably going to want a different mail client with capabilities better suited for your needs, either a full app, or an app intended to directly connect to and script the contents of the account on the mail server.

Log feedback with Apple. Find and use another mail client, pending any potential future changes by Apple.
Ok I am looking for something like that but instead of looking at the date it was received I want to look inside the message content. So it would look for any emails has a date in the email message that is 5 days from today. For example If today is 11-Apr-2022 & the email message contains 16-Apr-2022 then it will return the email in that mailbox. But if the email message contains some other date then it will not show up
Oookkkay
Thats what I was afraid of :(.
Thank you
