You can stop it doing this. When converting a book, in the 'Structure Detection' section, change Chapter Mark to 'none'. Also, 'Insert Page Break Before:' should be a single / .

This will prevent Calibre from adding page breaks, which is generally not needed when you are converting from already formatted e-books. These settings can also be made default in your preferences.
I'll disagree on that. The problem that @PunkyKoopa reported is the anchors. The question becomes why do the anchors exist.

And my experience with conversion does not match yours. The default conversion options will split on what looks to be a chapter heading. And if there is an image or something before that heading, that image is likely to be left at the end of the previous chapter. Or, split into a separate file. But, the defaults are based around simple chapter headings. They assume either a h1 or h2 tag or a paragraph with a style or id with "chapter" as part of the name. If the book has something other than this, you need to change the rules used for the split. Look for a better choice on where to put the file split so that everything for each chapter is kept in the same file. I'll admit I rarely do that. If I'm converting from another format, I am as likely to let it happen, then merge and split the files in the editor. That lets me see the code where the spits should happen.
