Why must a judge sign a warrant?
That's what makes the warrant legal. It signifies that he has read and reviewed the warrant affidavit and found it legal and proper.
Would an attorney help me not be arrested if I was issued a bench warrant for a misdemeanor Do I take care of bench warrant at courthouse or police station?
Your attorney could arrange for you to come in an voluntarily meet with the judge. However, if you encounter law enforcement before that time they'd be required to bring you to the judge on the basis of confirming the bench warrant. The bench warrant is likely for failure to appear, so if your attorney contacts the court to make an appearance with you they may be able to get the warrant set aside. If you know what court the warrant is out of you may be able to contact the clerk of that court and see if there is a bond you could pay to get the warrant set aside until a new court date could be set. Just some ideas. No idea what state, county, or municipality you are in and that absolutely makes a difference in how they do their business. (But your attorney will know). BTW, I am almost positive that no matter where you live, the police station is not the place to take care of it unless you just want to turn yourself in and be booked into jail and see the judge that way.

If the date doesnt match the judges signatured date is warrant valid?
Yes, it is. If you are referring to the date that the warrant was actually served does not match the date that the judge signed it.... it makes no difference. Often a warrant will be held for a time until law enforcement feels that the time is "just right" to serve it. If the warrant was 'legally sufficient' when the judge signed it, it's still 'legally sufficient' the date it is served.
Which has power to issue a search warrant?
In the US: Search warrants are issued by judges, magistrates or other judicial officers after application is made by law enforcement.

After review by the judge to be certain that the affidavit is legally sufficient and probable cause does, in fact, exist, the judge signs the affidavit which then legally makes it a warrant and law enforcement carries it out.
