My husband has two dependents, myself and our daughter, so does the system automatically count me as a dependent? In the Deductions & Credits section there is only the child tax credit for $2000.
NO
You are a Spouse, not a dependent.
By Filing Jointly (MFJ) as a married couple, your joint Standard Deduction is automatically doubled...so that's where you get some tax advantage....but no credit just for being married (and perhaps, one of the two of you not working).

You will file the tax return with your husband as Married filling Jointly.
This accounts for your relationship with him. You are not a dependent.
It also doubles the standard deduction. This is one advantage to the married filling Jointly status.
Your daughter is a dependent. This resulted in the Child Tax Credit that you referred to.
I think you simply misinterpreted the terms. You are the wife that changes your husbands filing status.
Your daughter is the dependent that entitled him to the tax credit.
