These functions are oddly named compared to what they do, I think.

the_date() is supposed to do exactly what you've described - output the 
date only once for each unique day in the post loop.

the_time() will do better what you want since it outputs for each post. 
Just supply a date-formatting string that shows only the date, and not 
the time.
