Protists and bacteria are grouped into different domains because the Protists are more complex and contain a membrane backed nucleus which bacteria lacks. Furthermore, Protists eat bacteria and bacteria decomposes Protists. Bacteria is not made of cells and Protists are photosynthetic.

Bacteria are one of the 3 Domains of life (Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota). The Eukaryotes are split into kingdoms such as fungi, plants and animals (as well as many others). The Bacteria domain is split into many kingdoms for the same reason that animals and plants are in different kingdoms, they're very different from each other and split apart very early in evolution.
