Why would the Spartans, who have better tactics and military training, charge in at people who they know could pick them off with guns?
Because the redcoats will only get off at most 5 full volleys (that is, everyone getting to fire 5 times) before the Spartans close in. And what else can they do that would be a better tactic? Stay in the phalanx? That'll get them killed pretty quickly.
And if they somehow clear warm up, how far do they get?
