You might have missed that whole story, Sasuke's aim was never been to produce more uchiha at all. But to take revenge and then to take more revenge and then to stand on his side with naruto.

On that first point, I refer you to chaps 4, 225, Shippuden anime S06E24, etc. Secondly, resurrection of the Uchiha clan to its previous position of honor as a vital (and respected) component of Konoha society, was always an element of the whole redemption arc for the whole bunch of Uchiha (resolving the troubles started by Madara and then later Obito). You can't do that if the Uchiha are left as only one or two (which may well go extinct within 1-2 more generations!)
