I have a Date/time column which takes the Current Date/time value. I have set it as a Date/time column with Date only. When I try to group an inline list items with this column, it doesnt group items, but the Date appears for each item.

It is because, though the Date/time column has been set to show only date, its actual value includes the time as well, so I am not able to group items by Date. When I wrote dates into another column as a Text column, then I am able to group it correctly.

How can I group it with the Date/time column set to Date only?

Yes, that’s correct.

Create a template column, and use your date column as a replacement. This effectively converts the date to a string, without the time component. You can then use that column for grouping.
