With this enabled, why must I enter my Password every time I want to Login to my Mac Book Pro after Logging Out?

Because that is the way it works.
Security is a priority... you can submit your Apple Feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple
There are a few instances where Touch ID will not be accepted by macOS:
• If you restarted your Mac, or if you're not logged into your user account.
• If you have not unlocked your Mac for 48 hours.
• If you are trying to unlock Security & Privacy
• If you are trying to unlock Users & Groups Preferences (when FileVault is on)
• If 5 wrong fingerprint attempts

Then, why does it work differently from an iPhone, where Touch ID is used in place of entering Passcode? On an iPhone it is a convenience to eliminate typing in Passcode. So, laptops get a higher level of security, because simply "that's the way it is?"
