Aren't Lagrange points present in Newton's model? Why would they be missing from the game?

They're missing from KSP not merely because it uses Newtonian physics, but because it only uses two-body gravitational physics at any given time. The planets and moons are on rails and you are in only one gravity well at a time. Lagrange points exist in the intersections between two gravity wells.
