a. Daniel never spoke directly to God. According to the Torah, prophets speak to God, not to intermediaries like angels. Daniel saw angels and never spoke to God. This is the primary reason Daniel is not considered a prophet.

This is an interesting definition of a prophet. I would have expected the reverse, that God speaks to prophets rather than vice versa.

But certainly Daniel spoke directly to God, especially 9:4-19, addressed directly to "O Lord, the great and awesome God".
