preventing emacs from newline insertion

How can I prevent emacs23 from inserting a newline after

C-u M-! date

is executed? Setting

(setq-default mode-require-final-newline nil)

has somehow no effect.

As pointed out in the comment, the newline comes from the 'date' command itself. You need to find a way to make the command omit the final newline, one way to do it would be the following:

C-u M-! echo -n "`date`"

in which we use that 'echo' allows you to control the final newline. There are of course other ways to achieve the same.
