I seriously think people are overanalyzing Evangelion.

Granted, that's very tempting, but enough of Evangelion was made up as they
went along to make it doubtful that anything meant anything throughout all
26 episodes.  Asuka for most of the series was just a standard anime
character type down to the "hates the guy but tries to kiss him anyway, and
besides everything's so much better when they work together" part.

As for why she's not attractive to us--she's a romantic interest for Shinji,
not for the audience.
