Join shapes is doing exactly what you have asked it to do - when you
break the shapes you are left with two parts - the outline of both the
filled shapes that have now been joined and the bit which is normally
discarded (in your example, the bit with the two vertical prongs on
it). Because of the Intersection process this bit is made up of
individual objects meaning that you can simply select any one of them
and delete them - in your example select the two prongs and delete
them.
I hope this answers your query.
