saying that they were from the Most High God or something like that--why did they get mad and exorcise the spirit?

Few come to faith from the words of a demon. Jesus shut the demons up as well.
This is an excellent question. Keep reading, you have a good mind.

Probably for the same reason that Jesus told the demons that He was casting out to stay silent when they were proclaiming that they knew who He was, the Holy Son of God. Neither Jesus nor the Apostles want to have the witness of Satan because if they would have accepted it then it would have been like some politician taking an endorsement from the Ku Klux Klan or some other disreputable organization.

because an oracular spirit means one with the spirit of the python, and it goes back to a false idol. Obviously an evil spirit had taken a hold of this girl, and when he taunted them, they exorcised it.

they had discernment and knew it was an unclean spirit. I think the sense in which this person was doing this would have been in a mocking and disrupting kind of way, making a spectacle and getting in the way of what they had to do.

For her sake, to Glorify God, to stop her from leading others astray or to keep people from thinking they were "on the same team" as her...
I'm sure there are other possible reasons.

it didn't fit into the neat little package that encompasses the Christan myth
