Usually when we talk about bridge mode on the receiver, we are referring
to the capability where if you have no preexisting wireless network, the
receiver can act as a wireless bridge in order to give the wireless
_controller_ access to the wired network. This is a quite common
scenario that is easy to set up.

What you're describing is significantly different, because instead of
communicating "ad hoc" between paired devices, what you're really doing
is setting up the receiver as a client to your existing access point,
while also enabling bridging. This is considered a far more
unusual/advanced setup, which is why it is not exposed in the UI. Also,
this capability makes it easy to inadvertently create loops in the LAN
topology, so we don't want uninitiated users running into it when
they're really trying to set up the more usual "bridge mode".
