This is not caused by systemctl daemon-reexec. When the systemd package is upgraded (apparently happening during apt-daily-upgrade.service), some services will be restarted (see /var/lib/dpkg/info/systemd.postinst). This includes systemd- networkd.service.
And, systemd-networkd does not generally maintain link configuration across restarts. You can try using KeepConfiguration[1] in your network config, but note that does not cover all configuration options.
