i looked at again, and I am thinking its because the pawn break allows bishop c4, that's the only reason I can think that this trade is better for white
It’s probably some absurd engine reason
Maybe when the knight is kicked there’s no fork

Yes, I agree with that. Your dxe4 activates white's bad bishop. On the other hand, d4 keeps the bishop passive and sad, and also it chases the c3 knight to a bad square: either to d1 or to b5 which looks better but it will be kicked to a3.

on move 10, the computer wants me to push my d-pawn to d4, in the game i take on e4 and this is a mistake, for some reason, the evaluation swings over 2 points away from me because of this move, and i just don't understand why this is bad, pawn breaks are so complicated...
