This is kind of complicated to explain, but I'll try:
You were being sent to the "create new account" page because bungie.net detected that you didn't have an account here.
Okay, not that complicated. Basically, you were signed into a different Windows Live ID than the one you use for Bungie.net. You may not even realize you were doing it - using Windows Live Messager, Hotmail, some modes of Windows XP, Windows 8, Outlook, lots of Microsoft websites, etc. When you hit sign-in, bungie.net notices you're already signed in with a Windows Live ID, but since it hasn't seen it before, it asks you to create a new account.
One of the changes to bungie.next involve this type of issue. We'll be providing better UI for recognizing this, so you don't accidentally get lost in the bowels of Microsoft's account systems.
Omg thankyou.
