I stopped watching X-Files before they got together, but my feeling was that CC was dead set against them as a couple. It wasn't about resolving sexual tension it was more that his vision of the show didn't have a romantic element. The problem with that is that Mulder and Scully's relationship kept deepening and the events of the world were isolating them from others. You have a heterosexual man and woman who trust each other profoundly and have no one else in their lives. It becomes unrealistic that they wouldn't have sex. That's how the human race has survived. If the opportunity arises, generally, we have sex with each other. So, CC finally agreed to what logically had to be happening. It was like he said, "Fine! Fine! They're a couple. They've been sleeping together for awhile now. Are you happy? Will you shut up about it?" But he never showed them getting together.

So, my speculation is he's breaking them up this time around so that he can get them together. Maybe he's come to terms that there is a romantic element to the show. Maybe he realizes that resisting it for so long didn't do the show any favors. And maybe his plan is to give us that coming together moment the original run didn't have.

Anyway, that's just my speculation.
