Re: I don,t get it.
Because a domain name registration isn't a a company.
Registration and accounts need to be given to companies house primarily so people can make significant financial decisions based on that knowledge (giving credit, paying up front) in b2b type relationship. It isn't typically intended for end consumers as typically consumers don't use it. For doing business with websites you don't need the whois information. it is already the law that companies must display their contact details and registration on the website. For the remaining websites then this is no different to interacting with market traders, Jo Bloggs at a car boot sale or that guy in the pub, they don't need to register at companies house and there is no reason why you should know where they live. Also note companies house doesn't require direct contact information, typically it will be to a registered office at a law firm or office space.
