I'm not sure I understand everything you have written, but I'll try to explain it.
The only reason not to use "do" for the auxiliary verb in the passive is that it's not the auxiliary verb we use in the passive. There is no reason; it just isn't used, and it doesn't have a passive meaning. In fact, the auxiliary verb "do" has no meaning at all, and so it can't convey any meaning, not even the passive. Also, the auxiliary verb "do" cannot be followed by a past participle, so that's another reason why it can't form the passive.
So the only auxiliaries we use "be" and "get" for the passive, but that is all, if I remember correctly. |
