He had to know that she would cause a lot of problems if she wasn't on his side...Was it because even though she was kinda important her life was as important as Zero Requiem, and thus he could justify it if she was killed in battle?
If he allowed her to join him, her life would have been ruined same as his. By havinf Kallen remain his enemy, he guaranteed that she had a future once everything was over. Her dying against his mooks was unlikely at best, and she was never supposed to fight Suzaku. In other words, it was worth the risk to his plan.
