The story maybe Clarke's creation but the character of HAL is not. Based on what I researched (aka Wikipedia) The Sentinel doesn't include HAL. It only inculde the monolith and some of the ending.

Kubrick started working with Clarke after Dr. Strangelove, and both of them worked on the book and the script together.

I think the reason Kubrick isn't one of the offical is because if they inculde Kubrick as the author, he will be credited for the entire story, the books or the film. We've seen some cast and crew talked about Kubrick taking all the credit for the film while people are glancing over the the rest of the crew that helped him. Maybe they share the credits for both of the work, Kurbick for the film and Clarke for the book, to avoid Kubrick taking all the credits

Also, Clarke said both work should be credited to both of them
