Is your phone is part of the company's domain like Microsoft Intune?
If that is the case, may be it is a policy for your company and you need to check it with your IT Department.

I keep uninstalling MS Edge from my phone, and it just reinstalls itself a day or 2 later. It's actually kind of creepy. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to stop it?

Was it pre-installed on your phone?
Do you have any other browser?
Try uninstall it and restart your phone and see if your issue persist?
