Because that mutation hasn´t happened yet, and "mi" still is a word. When in the future you are able to append it to the words, it will be treated as a suffix, not now. Btw the point you miss is that "ile", "ise", "idi" and "imiş" are categorical different words than mi as they all contain auxiliary verb "i". Maybe,who knows, "mi" will never have the same fate as them.
Duh, it´s just an orthography again whether it is written separately.

Oh! Our poor "permanent critic", it seems you´ve lost your grammar book again. Orthography or whatever you might think it is, you CANNOT append mi to the words,can you? And unless you can do that, you cannot call it a suffix as a suffix is an affix that is attached to the end of a root or stem. Hope it´s clear now.
p.s. There is this saying in Turkish, "halamın bıyığı olsa amcam olurdu" (if my aunt had a mustache, she would be my uncle)
