I have included node: post date in my fields and it will not show up as an option in timeline.

does it have to be an argument?

No, it should be as a field. Try removing and re-adding. And, just to make sure, you change the option in the timeline configure area of the view (the gears). It will give you a drop down of date fields, of which post date will be one. It should work. Screenshot?

Looks like fixed.

This is not fixed :(
Here is a base view
You have to change the view style to timeline since it would not let me save the date without a proper style setting

I added node post, last comment time, and a few others.

Only cck fields work not node date related fields
