Annoying, isn't it? But it's a "service" from Apple, who creates this panel, including the "Preview" button. I guess you're warned by the title of the button. It hard links against Preview instead of using the default app (also note there is a difference from normal preview, as there is a Print button on the bottom that allows you to directly send the PDF to the printer).
If you want to see it in Skim, you could try following the instructions on the Tips & Tricks section on the Wiki.
