Abraham doesn't want to stop and wait for people. Last season he didn't want to come back to rescue Glenn from the tunnel of death that Glenn refused to walk around. He also didn't want to waste time going Terminus in the first place.
But yeah it's basically a plot device to give them a reasonable number of people to focus on in upcoming episodes. Instead of the misadventures of like 16 people crammed in a short bus.
Having 16 people in the same locations makes filming a logistic nightmare as well.
