You need to do something like that in the WHERE clause:
select
col1
,CAST(col2 AS datetime) as col2test
from #DateTest
where isdate(col2) = 1

Huh? I don't see anywhere a "datetime" data type is specified, only varchar. I don't see why the code couldn't run fine as is.

The first is a datetime2 format, the second is a datetime format.
Try CASTing to datetime2 first, then CASTing that to datetime.
CAST(CAST(column_name AS datetime2) AS datetime)

For that, I would use a function with PATINDEX to retain only the desired chars.
If performance is not an issue, you can use a scalar function.

Better yet, forget the dopey "cluster first by identity" and cluster the table the best way: that is THE most important thing for performance.
Based on what you've posted, it seems...
