Is there a way to disable the repeating text column?

Sort of annoying if I have a big numbers of column and jumping the text with the same numbers.

Not sure I know what you mean. More explanation, or a screenshot, perhaps?

(Also, I'm assuming you're not talking about having put text frames onto a Master Page and then applying them to a document page and filling them in there.)

I wish there's a way not to stick from the last entry I entered and then default to 1 column instead.

A sample of InDesign Text Column:

 

Affinity Publisher column:

Thanks for the clarification. I think you're seeing two intended behaviors in Publisher:

1. Tools tend to keep the last values you set for them, as (I think) that's what most users would want. And
2. When you create a new Text Frame by linking it from an existing one it tries to duplicate the properties. Again, that's likely to be what would be useful in most cases.

Possibly Serif will consider adding some kind of preference for that, or an easier reset mechanism.
