Danzo however, thought he was going to have to fight the real Madara. He realized that he had no chance in a one on one with Madara, as stated previously, regardless of how much chakra he had. Logically his only chance was to at least preserve at enough chakra to use Kotoamatsukami on "Madara". And stall with Izanagi to ensure that he wouldn't die before he could use it.

Hope this is understandable. the more the better, he had a hard time against sasuke who already killed him several times, and he wasnt doing this because he needed time, if anything, izanagi was his best option in order to increase his chances against madara, think about it, why should he purposely drag a fight which brought him actually no benefits at all? instead it took izanagi and almost all his chakra away, and injured him mortally :)
