renaming files in a folder

I splited a file into parts, then i wrote a script to convert the format of the file names to this: part1.dat part2.dat
but I wonder why part.dat is also created knowing that the k variable starts from 1
Code:
 rm -f part*
 $(split -b $1 file.1 part_)
 set k = 1
 for i in $(ls part_*)
 do
 mv -f $i ${i%%_*}$k.dat
 ((k++))
 done

------------------------------------
result:
file.1 part2.dat part4.dat part6.dat part.dat
part1.dat part3.dat part5.dat part7.dat split.sh
