Its not Illustrator cutting the file up into many objects. Its the nature of a dxf being exported from a CAD tool.
Inkscape can handle those dxf2svg illustrator-files as long as the number of cut up objects within this file are small.
(In your case it was just a logo. In mine its complex maschinery)
Inkscape starts crashing with 1000 objects or more. This are the typ of dxf-files I´m using. While illustrator runs smoothly no matter how big those dxfs are.

This is why I´m completely stuck with illustrator in my case.
