Why would these not be included?
For some link datasets in DBpedia, there is no proper update mechanism included in the DBpedia SVN repository. In such cases, the link data sets are copied from the previous release. For Geonames, this means that the links you see were not recently updated (and can be as old as one or two years). The best way to improve the situation, in case up-to-date links are important for you, is to add a script (or a SILK file etc.), which can efficiently compute the links between the two data sets to the SVN repository, such that it can be run regularly.
