You're not reading the Dead Ball Table correctly.

The Table says that the award of two bases from when the ball went dead applies to Activity #19, which is when a live ball is intentionally carried, kicked, pushed or thrown into dead-ball territory.

Activity #15 award of two bases from the point of release cites rule 8-4-3f as a reference, which involves a thrown ball going into dead-ball territory or becoming blocked. For some reason, Activity #15 in the Table doesn't specifically state the ball enters DBT, but it does reference 5-1-1g in the book, and that covers the thrown ball going into the stands, bench, etc.
