Sadly it sounds like an HR department who can only go by the exact list they were given in the advert...it's a pain, I used to work in a company with an HR department like that, as a recruiting manager I had to really argue with them that I did NOT want them to filter out applications based on a "tick list". 
 You probably need to give up and find another company to apply to where your application will go to someone who actually knows what they need. Unless this company are looking for lots of people, in which case it might be worth going back to them and (very politely) asking if they could re-look as you believe your qualifications are equivalent. Because if they are filtering out too many applications they may be struggling to find anyone! 
 Sadly we have so many blessed qualifications and pathways in the UK that in my experience hardly anyone in recruitment actually understands them all, or even most of them. But the actual supervisor / manager of the work will know what skills they are looking for, and probably won't mind too much how you got there - the challenge in applying to big organisations is getting your application in front of that person. 
 That all said, there could be other reasons that they rejected your application and they may be using this as a reason they're prepared to come back with, there isn't much you can do about that. Employers don't have to say why an application was rejected. 
 Basically never ever get upset with "the company" for doing this. Even if turns out they did reject your application for a daft reason, the people who rejected it may well not be the people you'd actually work with there. (They might even be an outside agency.) So it's always worth trying a polite response, it genuinely does sometimes work. Just don't expect too much - if it works, that's a bonus. 
 Good luck!
