Radio waves from the dipole are polarized. Does it mean that light is

sure, why not? *but polarized waves can be emitted from other things
also.



We can shield the one end of the dipole.


no you can't.

A whip antennas on a car is not such?


no, the other half of the dipole is the body of the car itself.




Why the dipoles exhibit the directional pattern?


because they do, its well measured and accurately described in the
equations.

Are the measured and the calculated from the equations in agreement?


yes, to within many, many decimal places... if they did not agree to
within the limits of measurement then someone would have had to make a
new theory to explain the difference.
