Madara was clan leader. It would be ridiculous if he didn't know everything that was on those secret scrolls of secret Uchiha techniques. He's the earliest known user of Izanagi.

Itachi's explanation for Izanami includes that "there's a way out, if you accept who you are". If that's how it works, it wouldn't work on someone perfectly at peace with oneself. Plus that Itachi needed time to set up the jutsu, time that he needs to spend fighting a walking superweapon. He's not gonna win. MS Madara is the lowest iteration he has a chance against, EMS Madara is too strong against him.

Look at the facts in stead of wildly extrapolating Itachi's power, and it simply isn't a contest.
