Then don't use Pages.

I suggest that you use Sigil either to create the ePub from the beginning or to edit an ePub created in calibre from a ZIP/CBZ archive.

To get a ZIP archive you rename your collection of page images so that they begin with a page number (e.g. page01.jpg, ...) and put them into a ZIP archive (I believe you just select the files in a Finder window and then CTRL-click and select "compress" from the resulting menu). You can import this into calibre, set the appropriate metadata (author, title, cover image, ...) and then convert to ePub. The result is a decent ePub, but you may want to make adjustments using Sigil.
