That's because you only have a TODO|DONE state sequence. I have a few more:

,----
| org-todo-keywords-for-agenda is a variable defined in ‘org.el’.
| Its value is ("APPT" "DONE" "TODO" "CANCELLED")
`----

I believe that value was constructed by org, because I have the
following #+TODO: lines in (one or another of) my agenda files:

#+TODO: APPT | DONE

#+TODO: TODO | DONE CANCELLED


APPT and TODO are on the left of the '|' - DONE and CANCELLED are
on the right. See

   (info "(org) Workflow states")

for the meaning of  "left and right of '|'".

So when I do ``C-c a t'' I get:

,----
| Available with ‘N r’: (0)[ALL] (1)APPT (2)DONE (3)TODO (4)CANCELLED
`----

0 r gives me all APPT and TODO (N.B.: you still only get the left-of-'|'
    states)
1 r gives me APPT
3 r gives me TODO
2 r gives me DONE
4 r gives me CANCELLED

AFAIK, there is no way to get both the left-of-'|' *and* the
right-of-'|' states in one display, unless maybe you write your
own view (which I have not done, and I don't know if it's
easy/difficult/impossible).
