I think it's legitimate for Tobi to have gotten all this newer knowledge from zetsu. we've seen zetsu in a bunch of critical locations and fights witnessing and recording the events for tobi. it makes sense for tobi to want to know about his primary enemies. and for him to want to know about kakashi given the obito connection that is now fact
But all this does not explain why was Zetsu always at the right places to record everything. Why was he watching 3 children who went to some random bridge in a war? Was he watching because of Minato? Then he should have left following Minato to the front lines of the war. Was he watching Obito because Madara wanted his eyes? Then why didn't he take the other eye from Kakashi for example after Kakashi and Sasuke fought Zabuza? Kakashi collapsed from exhaustion, that was the time to take Obito's eye from him. He could have also taken Sasuke's eyes. Of course we could reason that Tobi didn't want to interfere with Itachi's plan of making Sasuke an avenger, because Tobi already had his plan to later turn Sasuke against Konoha. But this reasoning seems too complicated. But who knows, maybe this is the reason, we have already seen some complicated explanations from Kishimoto that weren't really right, for example the story of Itachi killing his clan.
