[MCU InfinityWar] Why on earth would the Wakandan military break formation and run towards the enemy?

The Wakandans had a shield wall set up, and seemed to be on higher ground. Tactically speaking, wouldn't it have been better to hold positions and hack at anything that got too close? That lets them amplify their combat ability with unit cohesiveness.

But instead, they charge towards a numerically superior force to engage in a melee. What gives?

Gross incompetence in leadership. 

Tactically speaking Wakanda should have utilized armor, artillery and air support to destroy the enemy from extreme range. At the bare minimum they should have spent the minutes before the combat digging foxholes and trenches in order to better protect their own troops firing positions.  Even if they absolutely couldn't do that they should have been just behind the rise of the hill, forcing the enemy to climb up hill while under fire from somewhat protected troops. 

Instead they lined up in an exposed field formation in tactics that died a final death with WWI and really were known to be outdated before that. They failed to use automatic weapons, barb wire (directed force fields), artillery and air strikes to direct enemy forces into killing zones.  

Wakanda might have superior tech but they clearly do not have superior military doctrine. They haven't fought a war with modern or post-modern weapons and clearly have no idea how to actually use the technology they have on the battlefield.  Like most armies they are fighting with the doctrine of the last war (in this case a pre-1900s one) but with some underutilized updated weapons. Their generals are versed in hand to hand combat not modern field tactics and sees all battles as that sort of combat. That is a failure of education.

Unlike other countries that haven't fought wars in decades Wakanda's isolation meant it wasn't doing officer exchanges to benefit from the experience of other forces. It isn't sending observers to ongoing wars between other states, it hasn't learned from the mistakes other forces have made. Its not doing war games with other modern forces. There is more to warfare than having fancy weapons. There is also knowing how to use them.
