They didn't necessarily go to challenge Azula to an Agni Kai. They went to defeat her by any means. Azula wanted to break them apart to defeat them easily, and that is why it resulted in an Agni Kai. Zuko wanted to gain Katara's trust before "The Southern Raiders". It be pretty foolish to keep your distance and expect to establsih a friendship.
