</event>
</row>
</dashboard>

I don't believe that you can use the date range picker in simple XML dashboards. You will have to rewrite your dashboard in advanced XML. Check out the docs on this subject, they walk you through converting your simple dashboard to advanced XML, and how to add modules.
