Low "D"

After spending time trying to play songs that want a 'D' for chord tone and needing melody lines in the middle 'C' to around the 'A' note (third string-second fret), I realized that the 'D' chord is always taught to be played on the four highest strings. (speaking strictly about the zone of the first 4 frets or so). So I'm constantly looking for a note or two that fit a 'D' chord on the lowest 2 strings which brings me to a question I have wondered about for some time. Why isn't a lower 'D' chord taught in the guitar world that has an underlying tone for low melody notes. All the other chords are involved in this theory. I'm not argueing the theory, just curios.
thanks,
hb
