That's by design. The two settings you described are separate and have different purposes.
If you want to take and save notes, turn off "Use Pointer as Pen" and use the the buttons on the "Writing Tools" toolbar to select between a pen and a cursor. Unless you are demonstrating something to another person or using OneNote on a projector, you would never use "Use Pen as Pointer".
"Handwriting Only" is a way to help the Ink parser by telling it that it shouldn't treat what you write as a picture.
"Use Pen as Pointer" is intended to be a temporary way to underline or emphasize content on the screen when you are presenting on a projector. Like similar tools in other programs, the lines written will disappear.
