Teacher Daniela,
Why were we use HAVE instead of HAS?
I mean, Shouldn't we say "Does your kitchen HAS a dishwasher?" instead of "Does your kitchen HAVE a dishwasher?" ?

please help,,

'Have' matches 'does'.

Look at the statement forms.

Your kitchen has a dishwasher - correct.
Your kitchen does have a dishwasher - correct.

Your kitchen have a dishwasher - incorrect,
Your kitchen does has a dishwasher - incorrect

I hope I got your examples correctly.
use does for it and then don't need to use has just use HAVE right?

But I'm afraid, I think I still didn't get it.

Does it has a dishwasher? (it refer to your kitchen).
Where is the wrong here?

Thank you in advance.

Your kitchen has a dishwasher.
It has a dishwasher.

However, when framing a sentence using the auxiliary verb "to do" (in Simple Present/Past), we use the base form of the main verb (in this case, 'have')

Does your kitchen have a dishwasher?
Does it have a dishwasher?
Your kitchen does have a dishwasher.
It does have a dishwasher.

"Does" already represents the singular form of the sentence, so we don't use the singular form of the word "have".

do/does not + <base form> (Rule for Simple Present)
The verb we have is "to have" (base form: have)
he correct sentence: It does have... / it does not have ...
(The positive form is only used to add emphasis. The negative form is the most common.)

You will notice this with other verbs as well.
Verb: to play
Affirmative: He plays / He does play ('does' only used for emphasis)
Negative: He does not play

Verb: to write
Affirmative: She writes / She does write ('does' only used for emphasis)
Negative: She does not write
