I would not consider daggers as bad as you claim, but I agree they are somewhat underpowered. But they should be. Even in real world, daggers were very rarely main weapons, more likely they were sidearms or parrying tools.

However, daggers can be useful when either the opponent is focused on something else or they aren't aware of your presence (or you backstab them, whichever you prefer). Now, they should still not be main weapons, but thanks to their high DPS and poison effect, they are good for starting the combat.

Also throwing daggers should be separate weapon, the daggers you hold in your hand are not as effective when thrown (or are harder to throw, not sure, but there is a reason throwing knives are a thing)

However, I think that daggers could have knockback removed even in melee combat, not only when thrown. This would make the attack speed more useful, right now it is pretty hard to actually hit with dagger as fast as it could.
