how to use "$dateToString" into mongo db 2.6 is any substitute?

Question

I made a script in local development machine mongoDb 4.0 its working flawless but for client server MongoDb is 2.6 so $dateToString is not supported. is there any substitute using $dateToString into mongoDb 2.6.

Using MongoDb 4.0 :

db.getCollection('orgData').aggregate([
    {$match:{'orgId' : 5} },
    {$unwind :'$events.click'},
    {'$project' :{'events.click' : 1}},
    {$group :{
            '_id' :{'$dateToString' : {format: "%Y-%m-%d",date:'$events.click.mongo_datetime'} }
            ,'count' : {'$sum' : 1}
        }}
        ]);

Output :

/* 1 */
{
    "_id" : "2019-03-01",
    "count" : 1427.0
}

/* 2 */
{
    "_id" : "2019-02-28",
    "count" : 2244.0
}

But in MongoDb 2.6 Iam getting Error :

assert: command failed: {
        "errmsg" : "exception: invalid operator '$dateToString'",
        "code" : 15999,
        "ok" : 0
} : aggregate failed
