Split Splitting lines with points while maintaining other dissolved lines?

I am on ArcGIS Desktop 10.2. I have a line feature class of a stream network. I also have a point feature class along the main stream (line) where a catchment enters that stream. I have dissolved my whole streams layer into one line feature and want to split this feature at the points.

Before split tool

However, when I use the Split Line At Point tool, the lines that don't have a point splitting them are still being split at the intersection of two streams.

After split tool

Why did this line not stay as one feature with the other lines on that side of the splitting node and how can I prevent this from happening.

Thanks?
