Because it is
The reason why it is advantageous to have weak hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs and strong covalent bonds between phoshate and deoxyribose groups in a DNA molecule is because the strong covalent bonds running along the "ladder" of the DNA molecule (the phospate and deoxyribose units) keep the molecule together during its existence and more importantly its reproduction. The weak hydrogen bonds in the middle keep the reproduction cycle going on forever because it is able to perform an easy split between the hydrogen bonds throughout the middle of the molecule.
Covalent bonding occurs between the nucelotides between the phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and organic base of a single DNA strand and hydrogen bonding holds the complementary bases of two DNA strands together.
Nucleic acid, which contains a pentose (either deoxyribose or ribose), phosphate group, and a nitrogen base (adenine, cytosine, guanine, and thymine/uracil). In addition, there is a covalent bond between the phosphate group and the pentose, and a hydrogen bond between the complementary bases.
So the double helix can be easily unzipped by helicase so DNA polymerase can replicate on one strand of DNA.
HPO4 does not exist. HPO42- would be the dibasic form of phosphoric acid and be the hydrogen phosphate ion. H3PO4 also exists and is phophoric acid. So if two moles of NaOH were reacted with phosphoric acid 2Na+ HPO42- would be formed disodium hydrogen phosphate.

Depending on what "Strands" are it could be either Hydrogen bonding between complementary base pairs or Phosphate bonds between interlinking deoxyribose sugars

Consists of two polynucleotide chains in the form of a double helix, containing phosphate and the sugar deoxyribose and linked by hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases adenine and thymine or cytosine and guanine

Each nucleotide has nitrogen sugar, a hydrogen bond, and on the sides a phosphate and a deoxyribose sugar
DNA or Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid is a double stranded compound made up of a deoxyribose (sugar-phosphate) backbone with nucleotide bases bonded together with hydrogen bonds.
