The later contribution of Jews and the weight of the oral history of their captivity being written down in the Bible and its later prevalence and influence on our own culture had and has very little to do with Egyptian history and especially the history of their monuments.

To include it would be giving it a weight and influence that was completely out of proportion to any historic influence that the Egyptian captivity had upon Egypt, which was negligible.

It would be like writing a history of Rome without mentioning Romulus and Remus and the she-wolf...the story is a part of the history. It can be addressed as a legend and debunked. NOT mentioning it at all is effectively to mock the story.
