As stated before, Danzo knew he couldn't beat "Madara" as he himself stated that Madara's abilities are endless and so the only way to win would be Kotoamatsukami to control Madara, he even states this in the middle of the fight with Sasuke. not possible, his goal was to kill sasuke as fast as possible because he needed to save hsi chakra, dragging the fight with sasuke would only lower his chances to hold out against madara :)

If it was against anyone else then yes, he would want to end the fight with Sasuke quickly so that he could take the next person with enough chakra. 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.
