User defined function returns series instead of value

I have defined user defined function in a pine script to get timestamp with respect to some date. But when executed it returns error as

Add to Chart operation failed, reason: line 35: Cannot call timestamp with arguments (series, series, literal integer, literal integer, literal integer);available overloads: timestamp(integer, integer, integer, integer, integer) => integer; timestamp(string, integer, integer, integer, integer, integer) => integer;

My Code Spec:

getdate() =>
    tt = timenow - 1549238400
    yr = year(tt)
    mt = month(tt)
    dt = dayofmonth(tt)
    timestamp(yr, mt, 01, 0, 0)

value = getdate()
plot(value, color = red, linewidth = 5, title = "27", style = histogram)

I am expecting 29 days ago date (4-Feb-2019) from now (5-March-2019) for timestamp function. But somehow I am getting series, which results in an error.

Any help will be appreciated.

In the Pine v4 the timestamp() function can accept series, and you can get timestamp with respect to some date using this script:

//@version=4
study("My Script")
dayTms()=>
 yr = year(time)
 mt = month(time)
 dt = dayofmonth(time)
 timestamp(yr, mt, dt, 0, 0)

requiredDayTms(daysAgo) =>
 tt = timenow - 86400 * daysAgo * 1000
 yr = year(tt)
 mt = month(tt)
 dt = dayofmonth(tt)
 timestamp(yr, mt, dt, 0, 0)

// argument value is the indent (in days) from the current bar
d=requiredDayTms(5)
plot(d == dayTms() ? 1:0, color=color.red, style=plot.style_histogram, linewidth=5 )
