That is deliberate. Evince is a GUI program, not a command line filtering
tool. Implementing this would interfere with the "single instance" approach
currently used. Perhaps a shell script like this would help you:

  #!/bin/sh
  TMPFILE=$(mktemp evince-$USER.XXXXXXX)
  cat > $TMPFILE
  evince $TMPFILE
  sleep 2
  rm $TMPFILE

Good luck.
