So he wants to punish them all, to do onto them what was done to his clan. He knows Itachi doesn't want that but he doesn't care. Itachi's priority was Konoha whereas Sasuke's has always been the Uchiha clan and and revenge for their death.
Sasuke's characterization is a complete mess since Itachi's death but his reasons to want revenge on Konoha were made crystal clear.

Went back to read those chapters, and you're right. Sasuke's goal from the beginning was to avenge his clan. He's just tracking back to who was ultimately responsible for what happened.
