The reason we can't use our sparrows is because there is an actual uplink on the other planets that enabled us to do so. In the vanilla story you turned back on all this uplink on Earth, Moon, Venus, and Mars. The Dreadnaught never had a system built (cause it was built by guardians duh) on their ship to allow sparrows. Seeing as how you re-uplinked ancient technology there I'm sure it's also not some easy transmit code for sparrows. It sucks, but it makes sense of why we don't have sparrows in the Dreadnaught.
[spoiler]Also sparrows would suck, to many rocks, cliffs, holes. Would be pointless really, the Dreadnaught isn't even that big.[/spoiler]

Sparrow: no. Hoverboard: f..k yeah!!!

Yea we placed one of those already -_- first mission

1.) in none of the dlc or original game is the first task you do build a sparrow deliver link. 2.) the thing you put on the dreadnought is a landing beacon. It allows you to be transmitted from your ship to a planet, not give you access to sparrows. In the first mission on earth after the tutorial level you land at one such beacon, the stating point for patrols as well, but the sparrow uplink is in a different location because they aren't the same.

If I can call in my ship with a tiny green blinking light, I think I'd be able to call in my sparrow too.
-
Different technology? You basically put down a transmitter for other guardians, taking advantage of the whole in the ship created by the cabal. Not saying doing the same thing for a sparrow shouldn't be as easy, but I mean you can warp to planets before using your sparrow.

Ghost and Cayde both reference it as a "Trans-mat zone". I'm assuming Trans-mat means Transport-Materials, in which case, it makes sense to "Trans-mat" our sparrow.
-
Terms/-Matt zone and sparrow uplink are different. When you go to earth for the first mission, after the tutorial mission, you land at a transnational zone, the same place you land for patrols, but the sparrow uplink is on the Mothyards. They are not the same. The transmat zone means it's somewhere you can be transmitted to from your ship.

Tell Bungie that. Again there was a certain device that needed to be activated on each planet to allow sparrows. Different functions for different things apparently. I'm giving you really the only sense of reason of why we don't have sparrows on the Dreadnaught.
-
Well, on Mars, didn't we have to turn off something in the first mission that was blocking us from Trans-matting our sparrow?
-
Most likely. Each destination had us do some task for sparrow usage, do I'm guessing the functions are different.
