Defensive Attack is quite specific about what defensive benefits you may choose. None of them is a bonus to dodge.

Actually, I do not question what is written, I just wonder why, what are the logics, behind excluding Dodge from getting some advantage.

Cause it is about striking with your weapon defensively. How would that help dodging?

You can build an attack Technique that grants (IIRC) up to +4 Dodge for one second after using it.

That is interpretation. Plus, grappling defensively, or even jabbing with a fist or any weapon could be translated into giving some space for potential dodging.
Additionally, if Defensive Attack is a milded version of AOD, why shouldn't it give a bonus to dodge?
