I agree. Plus the "page inbetween" is required in order to show license
information plus history/revisions of a file. Hence WONTFIXing.
If you have clearer proof that search engines are to blame, please contact the
corresponding search engines.

MediaWiki is not meant to concentrate on SEO but nobody will stop webmasters to
somehow enhance MediaWiki (e.g. via extensions or code changes) to perform
better when it comes to SEO. 
It's just nothing that is planned for the upstream codebase.
