it's due to the fact that DCA-LGA is a delta shuttle flight. DCA/BOS/ORD traffics are handled at a different terminal at LGA which only serves shuttle flights. When connecting to a delta mainland flight, you have to exit the terminal and transit landside. Also you should note that I have found no public transportation that can get you to the main terminal from the shuttle terminal at LGA. I think that's the reason it routs you through DTW.
