Hmmm .... a lack of attention to detail on your part.
If I were you I would not bother with an appeal, but instead make another application. Also, although she has not got to do this, when you submit your EEA2 application for a Residence Card, your wife should submit an EEA1 application for a Residence Certificate.
The logic is this. As you have found out the hard way, in order for you to get your Residence Card, you need to prove that wife EEA wife is exercising Treaty Rights in the UK. But if she submits an EEA1 application, they will look at that first, and once they have said yes to that, it will be very easy for them to say yes to your EEA2 application.
