His reasoning being that he may kill tens of thousands of Sisters doesn't change that if he reaches level 6 no one would dare fight him since it would be a death sentence to even think of such a crime against him.
There's a difference between trust and acting alone. Mikono trusted her friends greatly but the sister business was personal to her. How would her friends react if they learned that Mikono clones were made and being killed off daily? They wouldn't have acted as well as Mikono did where she scouted out the labs/factories and took them out quickly without causing too much commotion or leaving any evidence behind.
Think how much that revelation would have effected Kuroko who is obsessed with Mikoto. Kuroko would have completely lost it and be forever traumatized over seeing dead Sisters(Unable to get it out of her head since they look so much like Mikoto whom she loves even if Mikoto may never return those feelings) or learning of how many have been killed already. If anything she would have recklesss went out after Accelerator on her own and gotten killed. Not telling them was the only way to protect them, they just aren't ready for that stuff. Hell, Mikoto wasn't ready for it even though she had preparation from the level upper arc.
Touma may have been a clean slate after his memory loss but after all that has happened since than he isn't White either. No human is going to be white after all the things Touma has experienced since than.
It's all about guilt and betrayal as well as her being a teenager full of hormones. She was betrayed by people that she thought were going to use her abilities to help others than when she learns the truth she feels guilty. It isn't her fault that she was used but being used by anyone for a completely different purpose without your knowledge would make you angry/dirty as well as spur you into action. If anything Mikoto hates herself for having her innocence exploited in such a way.
Yet they didn't bother trying to. There was no reason they would have approached her if they could have easily gotten all the data they needed from her to start up the project. Her not agreeing would have set them back by years and fragmented the data that would have to be gathered over a period of time to make it not so obvious to those outside the project.
What I'm getting at is that Accelerator doesn't see Mikoto in that light and would easily place just as much blame on her over the Project even though such a blame is unwarranted and wrong.

I wouldn't say that. They could've pursued Kakine if they liked. It may have involved more work, but the experiment could have continued with him if need be. We all know Kakine is as power hungry as Accelerator is.
