Thats why I hate these types of one hit kill moves in naruto But the thing is, it's not really a one hit kill move. Tsukuyome requires eye contact, which is something you want to avoid against a Dojutsu user in the first place. Amaterasu is strong, but we've also seen counters to it. If Amaterasu misses twice, Itachi is done for. Earth Release techniques are particularly potent against it. Shadowclones work well on Tsukuyome.

Simply put, Itachi can't afford to miss these techniques. They're strong techniques, but it's not like there are no counters to it.
