In the novelization version of episode 4 Vader was enraged by it. He knew Obi-Wan had dropped his defenses. That along with him disappearing made him feel as though he was robbed of his victory and would never get the chance to defeat him. Short version it pissed Vader off.
This resentment culminated in the epic climax of the entire prequel trilogy, with Anakin and Obi-Wan's fateful battle on Mustafar in Episode III. Then, Vader's hatred for Obi-Wan was solidified before their final encounter in Episode IV during the Disney+ series Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Anakin Skywalker ultimately ended up hating Obi-Wan Kenobi for many misguided reasons, but Darth Vader's subconscious response to the Jedi's final declaration of love in the Star Wars prequels shows the real reason he could never forgive him.
Obi-Wan spared Anakin despite knowing killing him would "burn his heart to ash" and feeling regret for what Anakin could have become. Obi-Wan's decision to spare Anakin was influenced by the dark feeling that accompanied Emperor Palpatine's arrival, preventing him from finishing him off.
What If Old Obi Wan Killed Darth Vader on the Death Star
Why did Vader say he killed Anakin?
He meant that he "killed" that part of him. Anakin as in the jedi, the compassionate, good person he was is nowhere to be found after he turned to the dark side.
Though Obi-Wan was often an important ally for Anakin, the young Jedi could never see past his envy, even going far enough to allow himself to believe that his master was having an affair with his wife. In the end, Anakin's own jealousy was his undoing and the reason that he would never surpass his master.
Darth Vader did not 'forget' he was Anakin. He believed he was not Anakin Skywalker; a completely different person whom he killed.

"I Don't Like Sand, It's Coarse, Rough..." “From my point of view, the Jedi are evil!” "I find your Lack of faith disturbing." The first two side by side are technically Anakin Skywalker quotes.
On a very practical level, Vader could see that Obi-Wan had allies, and he probably sensed that there was a ring of Jedi supporters. If he captured or killed Kenobi right then, he would have had a much smaller chance of tracking down the other Imperial dissenters who were helping Jedi survivors.

His doubts about Anakin usually come from a place of insecurity in himself as a Jedi Master, whereas here, he shows a lack of trust in his apprentice and friend. Even more problematic, though, is the fact Obi-Wan explicitly tells Mace that Anakin has an emotional attachment to the Senator of Naboo.
In those movies, Mace was someone who loved confrontation, with his bullish ways usually winning arguments. However, he rubbed many the wrong way, and as the novel detailed, he was someone vehemently against Anakin joining the Jedi Order.
Darth Vader awakens, and his first question is about the whereabouts of Padmé. Palpatine tells Darth Vader that in his anger he killed her, placing the blame for Padmé's death on Vader. Vader denies it, saying he sensed Padmé was still alive, which the audience knows she was as Obi-Wan escaped on the ship with her.
