It's just anology.
We don't consider bald people to have a hair color.
We don't consider unemployed people to have a job.
Why do we consider people without sexual attraction to have a sexual orientation?

You don't seem to be great at this whole analogy this

Sexuality (as in sexual orientation) has both a positive and negative component. Positive, meaning the groups of people who you are attracted to, and negative meaning who you aren't attracted to. For example, heterosexual doesn't just mean attracted to the opposite sex, it means attracted to the opposite sex AND not attracted to the opposite sex. Otherwise bisexuals would be a subset of heterosexuals, rather than an exclusive category. Likewise, asexuality is still a sexual orientation since it defines both who you are attracted to (the empty set) and who you aren't attracted to (the universal set).
