Even though 託 can be substituted for 托 the simple form of 託 is not 托, but rather 讬. Both the simple form and the traditional form of the character 托 are the same.
---------------------------------

Editor:
1) "託 can be substituted for 托".
That's an understatement. 委託 is used as the traditional form far more often than 委托, and your proposal would eliminate 委託 from our dictionary and replace it with a less-commonly used traditional form 委托, which is already in the dictionary as the simplified form in this entry.

2) "the simple form of 託 is not 托"
We use whatever the PRC declares to be the official simplified form.
The 第一批异体字整理表 says:
托[託]
i.e. the simple form of 託 is 托
