The blessing of Aku's essence was probably intended as a replacement/figurehead for worship in place of Aku himself.

Seeing as how Aku doesn't seem to care much for worship/fanaticism from others, possibly because of his bad interactions with the other deities of the series (who actually we're used as examples for worship)

The portion of Aku was never actually intended to lead the creation of the Daughters of Aku, rather it was simply something they can pray to in place of the real entity himself.

That's why Aku was surprised (and shocked) when he realized the insane act that the High Priestess performed by consuming Aku's substance.
