I think that those guys who made the clones, also have plans for Index in the future by using those books that inside her hear. So they want to make stronger Lvl 5 and Lvl 6 to protect their city and their own plans

Index hasn't been around that long, and the Church didn't have any problems from the Academy sending Team Firestarter in to retrieve her in the first arc. Touma made some noise, but he was doing his own thing.
