Heck, even that has becomes a tool for for their own gain too. And the reason the Church care in the first place is because Caster risks exposing the magical world to the normal people, or else they would not mind him killing one or two children in secrecy.
Magi's world is a really harsh world. A world where a father would sacrifice a daughter, where a magus would implant a girl with worms in order to make her become his tool. What magi only care are their research, strengthen their lineage and reaching the Root.

To be frank thats not different from many countries letting thousands of people to die because they dont want to involve themselves on others wars.
And not to defend Tokiomi, but Matou offer was a great one in appearance. Second children are just marriage fodder to strenghten another family, yet Sakura would be the next generation Matou and would be able to pursue magecraft the same as Rin. No one expected (outside Matou family) that Zouken only wanted her as a genetic pool and a tool to his purposes.
Most mages do care about their research such as many scientist care about their own. It condenses all the work of your life AND your ancestors, of course they care. They have rules different from normal people but dont they behave "evilish" more usual than a normal evil person in society
