Why are most of the DLR Stations so close?

DLR is a light rail system and is designed to allow frequent stops.

In that the trains' top speed isn't that high, but its acceleration and
braking rates are, so the time lost by stopping is less than for heavy
rail trains. Plus, the stations are cheap. Hence, might as well have more
stops.
