I want to know why my daughter got denied survivor benefits. She is my husband's daughter. I also brought the birth certificate with his name on it.

You are going to have to call your local Social Security Office and talk to them. You can also appeal the decision. How old is your daughter? That could have something to do with it, If she is out of high school and not disabled she doesn't qualify. There are several reasons that she could have been denied, and none of us on this site can answer the question. From different things I have heard household income can affect it too, I don't know if that is right or not.
There are numerous reasons, but the SS office has to be the one to answer that. His has to be listed on the birth certificate, she needs to be a minor still attending school. He would have had to pay into the system for a certain length of time, not been in certain types of legal trouble, or have other dependents that already took all the support he had credited to him.
