        Hey Jocke.

        The reason is the arc is created from segments and these segments need to be connected by a line.
        Download the attached tutorial I just created to see an easier way to create what you want. Just follow the scene tabs at the top.

        Turn on hidden geometry (View/Hidden Geometry) to see the segmented arc as well.

        Hope this helps.

            ... then there is a the Curve Stitcher plugin.

            1. Select the 2 curves,
            2. Plugins -> Curve stitcher

            Just be aware that it stitches from the start of the curve to the start of the other curve, so if you do the arcs in opposite directions you can get shapes like this
