Whilst you can link your bookings from the BA end (so they know you are transiting from an EI flight), I agree that Kiwi Flyer that EI are probably well within their rights not to link your booking. In hindsight, you would have been able to book the DUB/LHR/SYD on the one ticket, for probably not much more (but not sure whether you might have had to fly Y on EI, do they have aircraft with J seating??).
Now that said, it may not be the best customer service on EI's part, or in your best interest as you may need to collect your bags in LHR and check-in for your LHR/SYD flight - although I thought EI and BA had an interline agreement. You may want to check on that...
On the baggage weight issue, again as it's a separate ticket, their normal economy baggage weight rules apply, as you've mentioned. Had it been all one ticket, then you'd have been OK. Again, they have you by the short & curlies...
Of course, where's Dave Noble or NM when you want them....
