It would be something like this
exiftool "-Directory</path/to/newdir/${Filename;m=~/(\d{4}-\d\d-\d\d)/;$_=$1}" /path/to/files/

This extracts the Year-Month-Day from the filename and creates a directory with that name under /path/to/newdir/

Change /path/to/newdir/ to the directory path you want to move them to or if you want them sorted into subdirectories of their current location, change it to %d
