I wanna say there's other reasons too but I'm blanking. Anyone? If Emma's memory prior to when she decided to give up Henry was changed by Regina to make her remember *not* giving him up and raising him, I do believe she and Neal still parted on bad terms. I agree that forgetting Neal and then suddenly having him sitting in the car would totally freak her out. Plus, right after she drove out of the town line, I think that's when her own as well as Henry's memories were altered. I suppose it would be another problem for Emma to suddenly have Neal pop up out of the blue and suddenly want to intergrate himself into her and Henry's lives after many years of nothing. Or maybe only she and Henry having their memories erased would make things a lot simpler for both without having the past (Neal and every relating to the Enchanted Forest + the curse) be brought up for them.
