Can't find firewall logs in AllXGLogs CLI dump

There is no log file for such traffic, basically because the data is dynamic. What this means: Logviewer is something dynamic (Database) which includes data like "transferred data" etc. This is only available if the connection is closed. Therefore the Logviewer has data, which a static log would not fetch. 

What is the use case for your approach? What do you want to look for? 

Syslog could potentially log this in a static manner, but the firewall itself /log will not do this.

I get what you are saying but I don't see why the XG can't log the information that you get in the GUI interface (the firewall hits). If you can send it to syslog, you can send it to a log file.

This is the second time I've wanted to look for some historical information (a week, two weeks ago). I don't have enough information to use the available search criteria to effectively narrow the search down in the GUI, so basically I want to look at all hits for a few hours on a certain date. There is no date filter on the GUI. I know if I scroll far enough down, I can get to it but that would take forever. It is also much easier with this sort of query having a searchable text file than the GUI which shows 20-25 lines at a time.

That would be a good use case for Central Firewall Reporting.

Basically the difference is "Logging" and "Reporting".

...or just logging/reporting it locally or putting a date filter in the GUI. Why is there no date filter in the GUI?

I have just had a look at Central Firewall Reporting and was significantly underwhelmed. I might possibly be able to get the information I wanted if I could export the data as a CSV and browse it that way, but as I do not have the paid version, that is unavailable.
