Because its propaganda.
It was the generals who gave the order to halt, not Hitler. Hitler merely signed the documents that OKW had presented him.
And you can immediately ask yourself; what kind of commander wouldnt want to capture the enemy and use them as leverage in a peace settlement, which would have actually shown good-will, rather than leaving the enemy to escape and then "claim" that you had the ability to capture them.
That general should be sacked immediately.
But like you said, the Germans renewed the assault on Dunkirk as soon as possible, and the captured the city just a day after the evacation was complete. The capture of Dunkirk also resulted in heavy German casualties, so if Hitler did not care about the evacuation, then he was really just an asshole to his own soldiers.
