[Star Wars] I'm an Empire Admiral and I don't understand why the Emperor gives us so few Star Destroyers

I'm an Admiral of the Empire in charge of hunting and destroying Rebel Alliance fleets, but I do not understand why my fleet only receives between 3 or 5 Star Destroyers and a couple of support ships. In the records we are supposed to have 35k of them and hundreds of thousands of other types.

Space is like really big.  Between defense fleets like those at kuat and scariff and the thousands of anti piracy patrols in the mid and outer rim territories there just aren't enough star destroyers to go around.  They aren't meant to be used like destroyers or patrol boats but as force projection ships.  Each one carries enough troops and tie fighters and walkers to effectively garrison a single planet each or ensure the empire has a presence in a system that  can't be easily ignored by a bunch of pirates.  The tarkin doctrine emphasizes superior strength and intimidation factor over flexibility and speed in the navy.  While you may find the handful of star destroyers given to you to be inadequate for hunting very mobile single pilot fighter craft just notice how the rebels always run when facing you.  It'll take a large effort on their part to face you in a fight and while it may not be a swift victory against the rebel scum eventually they'll run out of hiding places and you'll be thankful for the massive amount of firepower and troops each star destroyer represents in a fight that will give you 3 to 1 odds against any rebel forces you may encounter.
