First of all there were quite a number of Danish soldiers/warriors in the first crusades (plural). For instance a Danish knight was offered the title of King of Jerusalem, he declined though.
Then there were the crusades against the Baltic pagans. These Crusades included priests, bishops and the Danish archbishop (two different archbishops, and they were a couple of nasty warriorbishops) from Lund. These crusades had the Papal sactioning to convert the pagans and to included the land under the Danish Archbishopry of Lund.
So the conclusion is this: CA doesn't count crusades against the Baltic pagans as crusades, despite the fact that you can crusade against them and the Teutonic Order is included (which basically didn't do much else than fight Baltic pagans, just ask any Lithuanian).
Personally I think they just didn't know the Danes crusaded.
