Yeah Itachi's plans for Sasuke aren't actually very well thought out at all...huh. I mean he should have known if Sasuke killed him as an enemy he wouldn't awaken the Mangekyo and thus he would never feel the need to transplant Itachi's eyes thus making the Shisui's eye plot thread redundant. Sure, there was always the possibility Sasuke could awaken the Mangekyo under different circumstances but Itachi can't predict the future so it seems dumb of him to just assume Sasuke would get the Mangekyo by any other means besides learning the truth about him...which he definitely didn't want.
