I can't tell you what part of SP decides when you should browse by navigating between pages, or when the start.aspx is used, but once start.aspx is used it uses the hash to store the location of where you are, in case you copy it and link a colleague.
You can find some information in this blog post:

According to the comments on the article, you can deactivate the site feature Minimal Download Strategy and that should get rid of you being redirected to the start.aspx file when you navigate around your site.
It will obviously increase load time, since there will be more overhead when loading the full site between pages. It might not be a big problem, but keep that in mind.
