MuseScore only transposes chord symbols it recognizes, and that is controlled by the chord description file set in Style->Edit General Style->Chordnames. The default chord description file in Jazz Led Sheet uses "ma" for major and "mi" for minor, and no parentheses around alterations. There are other choices available, but none exactly match the wa you have entered your chords. So you'll either have to create your own customized chord description file - and realize that scores using customized description files won't look the same on other systems - or you'll have to start using the abbreviations used in the provided files. See Chord name in the Handbook.
