If Battler had found Kanon or somebody lying dead in front of the chapel I could understand it somehow, but as it is, it feels kind of vestigial, like a planned trick that was left unfinished.
Technically, Beatrice didn't say that Maria was at the chapel. What Battler remembered her saying was that he should go to the chapel if he wants to find Maria, which is literally true, since the mansion was locked and there was no other way inside. The keys were probably hidden so that Battler couldn't do anything until Beatrice finished speaking to him.
