I've been wondering about this too, and probably the best explanation I can think of is that SoL leaders knew how dangerous Kurayami was but considered its powers too valuable to be left dormant, and wanted to always have a swordsman trained in its use just in case they needed to seal other seiken or keep watch for possible futures (assuming they even knew it had that ability). And presumably it worked until Hayato!

That does raise the question of why no one was keeping a closer eye on Hayato to make sure he wasn't being corrupted, but if Isaac was already involved (either as Master Logos or in some other position of authority to prepare him for that role) he could have used his influence to divert suspicion until too late.
