Grouping quavers and semiquavers in 4 4
I am new to writing out music so apologies if this an obvious question.
When I write out this bar, I separate the notes so that each beat starts on a new note, however, when I regroup the rhythms using the MuseScore tool it combines them so that the fourth beat begins partway through a note. This can be seen in the attachments, why is this?

Right-click on the applicable time signature. From the context menu, click Time signature properties. Change the Beam selector for eighth notes.
See https://musescore.org/en/handbook/4/beams for more details.
It is, how regroup rythm tool works.
I think, your (first one) grouping is better readable.
