If fusion drives are described as being hot enough to melt space ports if you point them the right way, why don’t ships use them for self defense? Point them at a missile and melt/vaporize it before it can detonate? Melt PDC fire etc?

It might not be able to melt the missile fast enough before the warhead gets within effective range. Missiles in The Expanse travel really fast.
