The right to privacy isn't in the Constitution for the same reason they didn't state that we have the right to breathe air. The Founding Fathers considered it a bedrock of liberty. In fact, one can easily argue that the Third Amendment (no quartering of soldiers in private homes) and the Fourth Amendment ("The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated") are both direct statements of the right to privacy, especially the Fourth.
