Well, it's kinda simple - Obito imagined himself returning to Konoha after Rin's death instead of choosing to bond with Madara in his Eye of the Moon Plan. It doesn't cancel the events of Obito being near death, giving up his left Sharingan to Kakashi and then Madara saving him. I don't think that in this scenario Obito would've asked Kakashi to give him his "last gift" eye back, especially since during his reabilitation he was fond of the idea that with Kakashi possessing his second eye they would be able to protect Rin akin to Madara's statement "Sharingan shows his potential only in pair".
