Interesting attempt to redefine the terms!

'Booty call' = offer or solicitation of sex via phone.
'butt dial' = phone call due to phone being in one's back pants pocket.
  not even close 'literal meaning' of the two phrases

'dad bod' = kinda chubby torso on dad due to good eating and a dearth of exercise.
'father figure' = last checked, it points to the male parent in one's life. No relation to physical fitness.

If you want to stick with the citation, accuse me of not getting out enough to hang with kids?

The "booty" in "booty call" literally means "butt", and means "sex" by metonymy.

What you complained about is the entire point of this type of wordplay -- you change the components of a phrase to synonyms or near-synonyms, and get an entirely different meaning for the new phrase. If you didn't get a wildly different connoation, it either wouldn't be funny, or at least wouldn't be this particular kind of game.
