I agree with you, in the general case. However, I think it's fair to state
that Lego does not have a consistent policy regarding the dealer/retailer
catalogue:

Several people who are not retailers have indicated having or seeing these
catalogues in the past, as well. If it is truly Lego's desire to keep this
information confidential, they are being very arbitrary in their enforcement.
Now, idle curiosity prompts me to ask (of those who have seen one): Does the
catalogue have any indication in it which prohibits redistribution?
