A couple things. If Ichigo's argument was false why did Kubo even bother writing it in the manga? It was clear that Karakura in Soul Society was the real one, so if he was going to kill all the people there anyway why didn't he just destroy the town anyway instead of chasing Ichigo's friends. Aizen wanted Ichigo to get mad by seeing his friends corpses, and use his new found powers to fight Aizen on equal footing. Aizen wanted to see how powerful ichigo could become if he allowed him to, so he had to make sure that no one defeated him before he had the chance to see it. Aizen's plan was not originally designed for Ichigo, it only became like that when masaki was attacked by White. He wanted to see what the new baby could become, making Ichigo his test subject. I don't actually believe that Aizen was pure of heart, but he may not be as bad as we all think he is.
