While I understand what was said about Anodites, I feel it was basically a handwave to avoid Ben having an Anodite alien form and rendering Gwen useless to the series.

As others have pointed out, what excludes some aliens seems to be very vague and the idea that the Omnitrix works strictly off DNA doesn't seem to fly based on the fact that several aliens are either mineral or energy based and would then lack DNA. Now I imagine Azmuth is easily smart enough to work around this, finding a way in which these entities are sampled and calling it DNA was just an easy way to make a doofus like Ben unstand the complexities of a device that transforms the user's entire body into that of creatures wholly different from themself without annihilating them completely, but I don't see how he could make a device that could contain aliens capable of rewriting the universe on a whim (Celestialsapiens), whose method of reproduction is so insane it could be straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but couldn't find a way to recreate creatures that can and have reproduced with humans.

So while I understand, word of god says Anodites aren't in the Omnitrix, I personally don't see why they wouldn't, but for those hung up on it, feel free to take my previous theory as is, just with the added exception of Anodites and anything else strictly said not to exist in the Omnitrix.
