The free Windows SDK doesn't include ATL/MFC either, for several versions now. You have to comb through the Microsoft Download Center archives to find an old download that happens to still have it. (For anyone who's actually looking, you can get it from, of all things, the Windows Driver Kit, version 7.1.0 and below only. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1180... )
Download size is not an issue because Visual Studio Express is primarily installed through a <1MB installer stub these days. You can choose the options you want and it only downloads what you select.
