Well, if you think about it, you can. It's just that sight and sound are waveforms - one acoustic and the other electromagnetic - and the other three are physical or chemical. So to "record" a touch sensation, you would need a physical apparatus to sense the pressure an/or movement and to record smell or taste, you would need something that could do chemical sampling. Playback would require reproducing the samples by generating pressure and movement for touch and chemicals for smell and taste.
In a way, we "record" tastes by keeping recipes and smells by buying perfumes, incense and other fragrances. And we sort of record touch sensations in various forms with things like back scratchers and massage tables and even things like roller coasters and other amusement park rides.
