The reason for this was for the audience to see how the storyline developed - by having Scott, Greer and Brody trying to get back from the shuttle, Young ensures that they do not jump to FTL until they return. This develops the storyline as by the time they returned, the FTL capabilities had sustained damage. Since they were not able to jump to FTL, they were able to encounter and be rescued by Telford, after which they would develop the deal with the Urinis.
Had they not gone to explore the damaged ship, there would be no basis for why they would not jump out of FTL and thus they would not have encountered Telford.
It also provided for exciting drama in terms of the fate of the characters as they tried to return to Destiny in the shuttle, which surrounded by the unknown and violent Drones.
