Again, I have not seen this story (I might go to see it tomorrow), but isn't it set in the same "world", to speak broadly, as The LEGO Movie? In which case, it's not even a question of how the Daleks got from the DWU to Batman's world—all LEGO movies are actually a representation of some kid's imagination, as we learned in the first film, and the characters from various franchises involved in the stories are just merchandise.

In other words, when McKay says:

And because when I played with toys, I'd mash everything together. The first remixing that people do when they're kids is they take Luke Skywalkers and Voldemort and put them in a battle together, that kind of things!

...He's speaking quite literally. The Daleks are there because a kid owns the 21304 Doctor Who set, and it's hard to escape that framework where the "British robots" are not just aliens from a British television series, but in fact actual LEGO Doctor Who merchandise. Again, though, I haven't seen the film, so I may be way off, but it seems curious that this angle has not been brought up here at all.
