Your problem is most likely in decode - the return type in your expression will be character based on first search value ('null'), so it will be implicitly converted to character and then again implicitly converted to date by loading into date column. At some of this conversions you probably are loosing your time part. You can try instead use cast:
SQL> desc t
Name                                      Null?    Type
LASTWRITTEN                                        DATE
CREATEDON                                          DATE
LASTUPDATEDON                                      DATE
SQL> select * from t;
no rows selected
SQL> !cat t.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE T
TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS
LASTWRITTEN
"decode(:LASTWRITTEN,'null',cast(Null as date),
  to_date(:LASTWRITTEN,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'))",
CREATEDON
"decode(:CREATEDON,'null',cast(Null as date),
  to_date(:CREATEDON,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'))",
LASTUPDATEDON
"decode(:LASTUPDATEDON,'null',cast(Null as date),
  to_date(:LASTUPDATEDON,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))"
