Well, the logistical reason was for Dan to keep the character dynamics the way they were until closer to the end of the show. But...

I think part of the idea is that you were SUPPOSED to think they broke up for a bad reason. It was done deliberately. Look what happened at the beginning of iLove You: Everything seems to be going fine for them - much better than at the beginning of the relationship. They spent the weekend basically apart, doing their own things. But it was no problem. They seemed happy to see each other on Monday, so no issues. It was only when Carly gave the unintentionally bad advice about doing everything together and liking everything the other person was into that they ran into the problems that led to the break-up. The actual break-up was triggered by something Carly said when she wasn't even talking about them. They even seemed unsure about the break-up and wanted validation from the other person that it was the right decision. ("It's mutual, right?").

I think because they broke up for a bad reason (and took bad advice about how their relationship was "supposed" to be), it'll be easier to put them back together later when they figure out they can settle into a relationship that THEY are comfortable with -- without needing to meet the expectations of other people.
