why does this happen
Because you two (or three or four) queued at the exact same time and still maintain the same mmr. So matchmaking sees the potential team and queues them up.
Wait 5 or 10m then queue
Edit: Or add them to friends so you can see when they enter a match.

Would be nice if the system could see we just played a match together and at the very least put them on the other team
The game is D E D. 10+min queues during prime time
