The girl was reported missing from the Wokingham area by her parents on 7 April. She was later found unharmed.
Simon Deacon, of Crowthorne Site, Finchampstead, applied for the charge to be dismissed on Tuesday but pleaded not guilty to six other charges.
A dismissal hearing was set at Reading Crown Court for 17 August with a trial on the other charges on 28 September.
Mr Deacon also faces charges of assault, attempted burglary, robbery, aggravated vehicle taking causing injury, dangerous driving and driving while disqualified.
