You could do something like this, provided you have the filenames-of-interest:

for iFiles = numel(dataFiles):-1:1
  Sloaded{i1} = load(dataFiles(iFiles).name);
end

If you have to get the filenames then look to dir and then select the files of interest there. If you need to load one data-file per day for every day from 1st of January 2017 to now you could do something like this:

D0 = datenum([2017 1 1]);
D = D0;
iD = 1;
while D < datenum(now)
  filename = [datestr(D,'yyyymmdd'),'.mat'];
  try
    S{iD} = load(filename);
  catch
    disp(['failed to load file: ',filename])
  end
  iD = iD+1; % design-choice to make empty cell-arrays for missing data...
end
