Comment (by dd32):

 In short: You can't, it's an integral part of the functionality offered on
 the new Post page.

 Post ID's shouldn't be relied upon to be incremental with each post, It's
 a Unique reference to a "Post Object" a Post Object being any one of the
 dozen (or more) things which are stored as that type, It's not just
 limited to Posts|Pages|Attachments|Revisions|AutoSaves either, It can be
 Plugin data, Menu's, Internal storage for posts (Auto Drafts), and in the
 future, many other things too.

 The AutoDrafts will be cleaned up/removed from the database regularly
 automatically.
