Touch is not one sense, it is many.
Somatic sensation consists of the various sensory receptors that trigger the experiences labelled as touch or pressure, temperature (warm or cold), pain (including itch and tickle), and the sensations of muscle movement and joint position including posture, movement, and facial expression (collectively also called proprioception).
And, considering
.. the somatic senses should be separated because they all deal with different stimuli.A broadly acceptable definition of a sense would be "a system that consists of a sensory cell type (or group of cell types) that responds to a specific kind of physical phenomenon, and that correspond to a defined region (or group of regions) within the brain where the signals are received and interpreted."
Even sight is not just one sense. It is the perception of both brightness and colour. Two separate sensors necessary, thus Neuroanatomists generally regard it as two senses.
Taste, as you all know, is the perception of tastes. Many tastes, not just one. Therefore this one sense of taste is now being found to be four or more different senses, if we also include umami.
And unlike taste, there are hundreds of olfactory receptors, each binding to a particular molecular feature. Of course labeling them all as different senses would take far too long.. and the list'd be huge..
But.. If the different taste-senses are not regarded as separate senses one may argue that Taste and Smell should likewise be grouped together as one sense.
