Please note that, according to Squid documentation, your Squid is
slightly misconfigured:

You are not using an "stdio" module. You are using a "daemon" module.

This minor misconfiguraiton, if any, does not explain the lack of
rotations. The deamon module should still rotate based on your global
logfile_rotate directive setting.

What is your Squid version? What logging and rotation-related messages
do you see in your cache.log (check both the pre-rotation and
post-rotation files)?
