We say so since we don't need the other to express their gratitude for the favour we did.

When you are telling someone "don't mention it", what you are telling them not to mention is the 'thank you' itself -- you are saying "Your thanks isn't necessary. I was glad to do it, so you didn't need to mention your thanks."
This is just an expression. It's definitely a good idea to express thanks when someone does something for you; "don't mention it" really just means "you're welcome; glad to do it.")

It is all a bogus imitation the BRITISH legacy, in the name of 'Mannerism'.
