Description

### Search first

- [x] I searched and no similar issues were found

### What Happened?

When exporting a DB graph to HTML, the configured Default Home page is not applied.

### Reproduce the Bug

1. Set a page as the Default Home page in Logseq DB.
2. Export the graph to HTML.
3. Open the exported HTML.
4. The Journal page is displayed as the home page instead of the configured Default Home page.

### Expected Behavior

The exported HTML should use the configured Default Home page as its home page.

### Additional Context

This behavior was mentioned in (https://github.com/logseq/db-test/issues/542), but I was advised to open a separate issue for the publishing/export behavior, so I am reporting it here.
