How can I keep SAML assertion in SP?

You probably don't have the cacheAssertions flag on.

That's not a valid use case for a SSO assertion, so that's not appropriate, as I said. It's literally a security violation under the standard, as the assertion is not valid for that purpose or that audience. It's a one-time use bearer token with a very short lifetime to limit people from doing exactly this.
