Saving in Audition

Why does Audition default to saving as a .wav? I save as .mp3 for all my work and it's annoying that I have to select .mp3 every time

The other reason is that wav is Audition's working format, so it makes sense to save it that way. To add a bit to what Euan said about repeated editing - if you decide you want to do some more work on a file, and you've saved it only as an MP3, then to rework it you have to decode what you previously encoded - which is where the quality drop comes in. And every time you do it, this gets worse.

You're assuming that the mp3 will be "reworked". The type of work I do requires mp3's that don't need reworking. Why not leave it up to the user as to how he/she wants to default the saving process like it always was in the past?
