Working through the error message it appears that not all of the dateutil package modules were loaded into the arcgispro-py3 environment. Once this was done everything worked as expected.

Did you upgrade the computer that you had a previous version of Desktop on?  Or is this a new computer with upgraded software?  I ask because maybe you had custom python libraries on your old computer that you forgot needed to be installed on your new computer.

No this is a straight update from ArcGIS Pro 1.3 to 1.4. No changes made to the system.

dateutil - powerful extensions to datetime — dateutil 2.6.0 documentation  perhaps.... 

check your conda distribution to see if it is included

The Python Package Manager—ArcPy Get Started | ArcGIS Desktop 

There is no assumption that the previous packages would be retained... I woul check

Did you need to rerun or fix the install to get these package modules to install correctly?

I just copied the relevant files to the correct location under arcgispro-py3.

OK but where did you get the files to copy?  Is the location for these files in 10.3 different than in 10.4, so you copied them from the old 10.3 location?

In my case I copied files from 

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\.pkgs\python-dateutil-2.6.0-py35_0\Lib\site-packages

to

C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\Python\envs\arcgispro-py3\lib\site-packages
