I suspect you need this:

(set org-link-to-org-use-id nil)

See the variable docstring:

,----[ org-link-to-org-use-id is a variable defined in `org.el'. ]
| Its value is create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id
| 
| Documentation:
| Non-nil means storing a link to an Org file will use entry IDs.
| 
| Note that before this variable is even considered, org-id must be loaded,
| so please customize `org-modules' and turn it on.
| 
| The variable can have the following values:
| 
| t     Create an ID if needed to make a link to the current entry.
| 
| create-if-interactive
|       If `org-store-link' is called directly (interactively, as a user
|       command), do create an ID to support the link.  But when doing the
|       job for remember, only use the ID if it already exists.  The
|       purpose of this setting is to avoid proliferation of unwanted
|       IDs, just because you happen to be in an Org file when you
|       call `org-remember' that automatically and preemptively
|       creates a link.  If you do want to get an ID link in a remember
|       template to an entry not having an ID, create it first by
|       explicitly creating a link to it, using `C-c C-l' first.
| 
| create-if-interactive-and-no-custom-id
|       Like create-if-interactive, but do not create an ID if there is
|       a CUSTOM_ID property defined in the entry.  This is the default.
| 
| use-existing
|       Use existing ID, do not create one.
| 
| nil   Never use an ID to make a link, instead link using a text search for
|       the headline text.
