This is the case for me as well -- I have to type the extension every

default extension?
Have you specified the language for your files? If it's HTML,
you should get file extensions of '.html' automatically.
Here's an "Expert Preference" that might help:
[Watch out for email line-breaking -- the "defaults write ..."
statements should be on one line]:
## From BBEdit Help ##
If you like, you can set the default language for new
untitled documents:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
DefaultLanguageNameForNewDocuments -string "<language name>"
"<language name>" should be the name of a language shown as
installed in the Language preferences. For example, if you want
your new documents to be Markdown:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
DefaultLanguageNameForNewDocuments -string "Markdown"

And here's another:
## From BBEdit Help ##
BBEdit makes a reasonable guess at a filename extension
when using "Save As" for a new document. You can also set the
preferred extension on a per-language basis:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
PreferredFilenameExtension_<LanguageName> -string "abc"
Replace <LanguageName> with the actual language name; for example:
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
PreferredFilenameExtension_C++ -string "cxx"
defaults write com.barebones.bbedit
PreferredFilenameExtension_YAML -string "yaml"
Note that the extension you specify should not include the
leading period.
