A choice that a person like Danzo, who envied the Uchiha and is morally gray, has warped into an urgency.
Let me ask you this, if that was the case and Uchiha were going to be crushed either way, why was Itachi (and Obito) even needed for the job? Why not have someone else do it, someone who did not need persuading, or emotional blackmail?

Because if someone else kills the Uchiha, the crime gets pinned on Konoha. If Itachi does it, they label him as nuts and Konoha walks away looking good.
And again, Itachi isn’t an idiot. He had the mind of a Hokage by age 7.
Danzo didn’t want any chance of peace with the Uchiha but that doesn’t mean he was the sole reason for the massacre. If Itachi thought there was another way, he would’ve taken it.

Maybe you should try to arrest an official before before murdering their whole family or better yet don’t give your entire internal security to one oppressed clan that has every reason to hate the village
Your argument effectively makes Itachi brain dead and a sponge for Danzo to manipulate, which while a cool idea goes against the thoughtful and sharply intelligent character that is Itachi.
Danzo made use of the situation but the manga has literally failed to offer us any other alternative. Intelligent and compassionate characters like Hiruzen and Itachi struggled and failed to.
