It especially doesn't make sense because the Shinigami were facing a bigger threat than they'd ever seen before and they decided to kill one of their Kenpachis just to make the other stronger when it would make much more sense to keep them both alive. Zaraki was much stronger than Unohana at his best. I think that Zaraki's shikai is far beyond what Unohana could achieve in her dreams, so i think it was a smart decision.
