The way I see it, pride could also play a role there: since he didn't have the time nor the luxury to properly explain things to her, after she asked if he was just using them (and herself)...his reaction was that he might as well say yes, even painting himself as the bad guy and confirming her fears in effect, since his priority was to convince or pressure Suzaku and continue searching for Nunnally..
The result is similar, if not identical, even if the intent differs somewhat...did he actively care so much as to consider her reaction and its implications at that particular moment? That's what I doubt. He could have, but...
