From Ateres HMikra:
Q: Why does the Torah emphasize that 'on the day of the Shabbat' there is a prohibition of kindling?
A: In sefer Magid Meisharim, from the Bet Yosef, he answers this question and says that the words 'on the day of the Shabbat' comes specifically to remove us from the hearts of the Sadducees, who say that there is a prohibition of lighting a lamp on Erev Shabbat, based on our pasuk. Rather, so writes the Bet Yosef: It states 'on the day of the Shabbat' to teach you that only on the day of Shabbat itself it is prohibited to light a lamp, but to leave a lamp lit from Erev Shabbat to the day of Shabbat, it is clear that it is permitted.
According to this, another reason is explained for the commandment of lighting lamps for Shabbat, besides the reason stated in the gemara, of Shalom Bayit. And this is to take us out from the hearts of the Sadducees and to make known that there is no such prohibition to kindle fire on Erev Shabbat such that it will remain lit on Shabbat.
