Yes, `x' is not in a menu-bar menu.  It should be.

If you use Dired+, it is.  There, you have submenu
`Delete', with menu items `Delete Marked (not Flagged)'
and `Delete Flagged'.  The former has key `D', and the
latter has key `x'.

(In Dired+, menu-bar menu `Operate' is named `Multiple',
so submenu `Delete' is `Multiple > Delete', not `Operate
> Delete'.)
