There are probably a few more doors the name of the shichibukai will open for him before he sets his eyes on his true goal
Not really interested in this discussion but it seems to me that you're completely ignoring the possibility that Blackbeard has already fulfilled his other objectives. After all, he has been a Shichibukai for quite some time now and with all the effort he has put into becoming one I doubt he has just been sitting on his ass all this time waiting for someone else to start a commotion. I'm pretty sure Blackbeard wouldn't be doing something that could cost him his Shichibukai status unless he no longer needed the title. Like he told Crocodile it's all a part of his plan.

Besides like Death13a mentioned this will be the start of a war between Whitebeard and the WG. A war that, all things considered, will likely end in the annihilation of the WG. At the very least WG will lose most of its power and after that I doubt the title of Shichibukai will mean anything at all.
