Gnucash is double entry accounting, so it requires (according to double-entry accounting rules) a balancing entry in every transaction. 

SO, if your transaction doesn't balance, Gnucash provides the reminder by creating a balancing entry in Imbalances. 

If you want to get rid of imbalance entries, balance your transaction by designating a different (real) account for the imbalance amount.
