The way I look at it is this: The first didn't want anything to do with the Uchiha anymore. He had his fill fighting with them. He was just on defense. The Uchiha, especially Madara, was on the offensive trying to reclaim konoha.

So there is no reason why he would take them. And why he just lose them after losing a fight? After he got them, he had them forever. No one could take them from him. He has it forever.
You're taking what I said quite literally. There's probably a factor that cause Madara to lose his EMS, ie. controlling the Kyuubi. The reason why I said his EMS was disabled after losing to the first was because "maybe" the 1st Hokage pushed Madara to a point where he damage his EMS (sharingan seems very sensitive to losing).
