That explained why I did not see the return values.
But the command output is still printed.
Probably the command function is not what I need.
I just read that the command function just executes the command and only delivers the exit value of the command executed.
Perhaps I can make use of this.
I do not need the date output, that was just as an example.
I only need an integer, so I will try to use the exit value for this.

As I have control over the exit value of the command executed, I can have the output go to "> /dev/null 2&>1".
Then with "WEXITSTATUS" I can parse the exit value to my variable.
