The only way that Kariya would've managed to get through to Tokiomi would be to tell him that the Matou way of magical inheritance would destroy Sakura's potential. But Kariya doesn't know and doesn't care about such things, he just abhors magi in general due to his circumstances. They have completely different mental processes.
It was never going to work at all.

The anime just went over it, but in the novel you see what he was thinking when he was with Rin, and he was thinking as a father too as the narration even pinpoints it. He considered that the greatest gift his father gave him was the possibility to choose a magus life or a normal life, but he regretted how he wasn't able to give that to his daughters due their potentials. What he didn't wanted was to see his daughter as a guinea pig, and that was what Zouken did at the end.
