For the same reason that the Christians were angry at Muhammad and his teachings. They viewed them to be the incorrect way to do things and felt he would try to convince other people from the correct ways at the time. Obviously we see things differently today, but for the time, religion was a very important thing that even speaking against the major religion got you burned as a heretic.

Why did these Jewish leaders not want the apostle teaching in Jesus name?

The Jewish leaders did not like Jesus. He taught and preached the true word of God. Many of the people were beginning to believe in Him and turning away from the Jewish leaders teachings. So they crucified Jesus and thought they had got rid of the problem. They could now go on teaching in their perverted ways. But what happens? Here the apostles of Jesus start teaching the ways of Jesus and even healed a few persons. This upset the Jewish leaders. They thought they had got rid of the problem and now it was manifesting itself again. The leaders told the apostles to stop teaching in Jesus' name. This is all they could do because the true cause, "the way" was so popular killing the apostles would be a big mistake. The apostles did not stop preaching, and this is a good lesson to whether we should obey man or God, when it come to the important things of God.
