Well, there are a few reasons why she shouldn't duel Heathcliff.
If she was to fight with the leader, then that would mean KoB really made decisions based on a duel between members. What would happen to the discipline after that, regardless of who wins?
Kirito, OTOH, is an outsider. Right now, and even after the fight, it can still be dismissed as a joke and a show.

" - Not to mention, Asuna is the one who is making the Floor Bosses tactics, which means Heathcliff doesn't have much to do in here. Sure he must give some advices, but meh...
Even Asuna goes to the Front Lines, and she is the one who's preparing those fights...

We only saw her manage that one meeting. And it wasn't even about a floor boss.
There are all kinds of good reasons why the staffing of boss parties should rotate. It's possible and even likely that the pre-fight management duty also rotates.
