I'm not able to reproduce this following your steps. After I create the custom metadata type and record, then retrieve:

sf project retrieve start -m CustomMetadata
Retrieving v59.0 metadata from test-smecxjfdvipn@example.com using the v60.0 SOAP API
Preparing retrieve request... Succeeded

| Created TestCMeta.TestCMetaRecord CustomMetadata force-app/main/default/customMetadata/TestCMeta.TestCMetaRecord.md-meta.xml

I would check the .forceignore in your project to make sure there isn't an entry that would cause CustomMetadata files to be ignored. E.g., intending to ignore markdown files with an entry of /*.md or something similar could match .../TestCMeta.TestCMetaRecord.md-meta.xml
