Besides, Obito was granted Madara's name and authority by Madara Uchiha, or as he put it himself, "anyone who furthers Madara Uchiha's goal is Madara". So in a sense, Obito was indeed Madara. Plus, since Itachi was intent on finishing him off eventually, it seems to me that it doesn't matter what Itachi thought Obito was, since that identity was meant to scare people, and Itachi wasn't scared.
