The present perfect tense was used because the week is unfinished. It refers to the time up to now.
I have not seen him today = Today is still not finished and until now I have yet to see him. However I might be able to see him today before it's over.
I didn't see him yesterday = Yesterday is finished, and I didn't see him.
