Afraid I have to break the news.. No, you can't T into the dryer venting for your bathroom.
Code don't allow you do such thing either in some area.
Sure you don't have a wood joist that sits on top of the cement walls? If so, then just drill into that to vent the bathroom fan.

Code is what the City/State will allow to do and not to do.
It would be easy to do what you want to do, but I would not suggest doing it.
Dryer blows alot of lint, and if the check valve gets full of lint, then it may not do it's job.
