Well its an easy way to get to the other side quickly and the timer prevents this. Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen you know:p I mean why wouldn't you do that with a short timer? It practically begs you to... 40 second run vs 10 seconds of death. I won't even believe I am the first person to see the flaw in that.
If hiding/stealth was added it would be even more reason to abuse the timer like that as someone could easily sneak by you while you go to attack their side and/or get their flag. Once you get to their side and you see your flag in danger but your team is trying to fight them off, it would be much easier and faster to drop yourself and respawn next to the fight.
Anyways, stealth could add something new to the fights but the death timer is appropriate as is.
