This is the price you pay for using this feature. If you don't wish to lose section breaks then you have to stop using this feature.

Calibre is not a ebook editing or creation tool and the remove spacing feature was a large swipe at meeting a requested need.

Since you are familiar with Sigil you can identify the section breaks and replace those breaks with a string like

* * * * * *
Then convert using the remove spaces feature as normal.
