This is a temporary setup and 'looks' are obviously aren't important here. Not sure why you want to frame in the bottom area or the sides.

If it was me I would just move the shelf you have there down to the height you want. Go ahead and just move that trim wood above and below the shelf down to where you want it.

Dishwasher isn't that heavy and that board looks strong enough to me.

I'd also consider just pushing the dishwasher to one side and then you have 8" of storage space that you can work with.

The framing idea is so the heat vent wouldn't be blocked by the dishwasher, this way I could just extend it out to have uninterrupted heat.

Our home can get quite cold so I want to make sure it gets full effectiveness.

I get that... if shelf is 5" above the vent, then you will basically have an unblocked 5" x 32" vent.
