Usage of Prepositions + Relative Pronouns

I am going crazy because of prepositions + relative pronouns.
Here are some examples and please read and tell me if in the way that I have understood is right or not.
- (1) Do you know the date when we have to hand in the essay?
My grammar book says (1) can be changed more formally like (2):
- (2) Do you know the date on/by which we have to hand in the essay?
But I do not know if (3) has the same meaning as (1) and (2):
- (3) Do you know the date which we have to hand in in the essay on/by?
I don't know why I feel like (3) is weird. Maybe, because it is wrong?
It is really confusing because I have known that I can make Prepositions + which sentences when prepositions are used with certain verbs like this:
Playing games in which I am interested are good for health.
Playing games which I am interested in are good for health.
**be interested in**
Thank you for reading this and your answers will be helpful for me

(1) is incorrect.
(2) and (3) do have the same meaning; the one you use is entirely up to your personal preference; you might feel that (3) is awkward because it ends with a preposition, and this is seen by some to be poor writing. Thus, (2) is the best option, though (3) is technically valid.
Your examples about "to be interested in" are both just as correct as the other.
