Entrusting a weapon is no more symbolic than entrusting a position to someone. If anything else, expressing their trust and faith into him would be better in fact.
You don't entrust that kind of sword to someone who cannot use it properly. Even though it is a huge symbol for the kinds like Takagi's daddy, it is certainly not the same for other people. Due to this, using it as a mere symbol instead of actual weapon is anything but a waste. And should he use that, you can be sure he would be a definite liability, especially the blade is 60-80 cm long from what we were shown.
Any practioner in swordsmanship would definitely know that putting such kind of weapon in an amateur's hands is silly, period.
