Why does drag coefficient increase with lift coefficient?

At low angles, the drag is nearly constant. The effect is called induced drag or drag due to lift. The flow around the wingtips of a finite wing creates an "induced" angle of attack on the wing near the tips. As the angle increases, the lift coefficient increases and this changes the amount of the induced drag.
