Why does Luke's Gospel exclude the account of Jesus walking on water?

A 'Missing Block', for a total of 74.5 verses from Mark 6:47 to Mark 8:27a, was omitted from Luke, resulting in the curious conjunction found in Luke 9:18 "And it came to pass as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them ..." These clauses are more meaningful when found in Mark at the start and end of the Missing Block. It has been estimated that the Missing Block probably corresponded to 13 pages that were missing or had been removed from the copy of Mark's Gospel that the author of Luke used as his source.
A number of important stories were thereby omitted, including the story of Jesus walking on water.
