I don't really understand your point of view. Aizen let himself go to Fake Karakura because he wanted to eliminate the Gotei 13 first. And the only reason Ichigo got to that level was because of the Dangai, not because Aizen let him. Aizen in no way wanted to die; he would have easily killed Ichigo at the end if Urahara's Kido hadn't taken effect.
