Here's a better question, why would Natsu having those memories affect Igneel's plan in any way? He has Zeref for a brother and he's E.N.D, how does any of that relate to Acnologia or stopping him? Why Igneel took those memories is the real question, if Zeref will only tell Natsu himself, what was the point? For another, why didn't they leave the Dragon Slayers together in X777, it would have saved so much hassle in regards to Natsu and Gajeel nearly killing each other, Sting and Rogue being complete asses and Wendy being alone most of her life with the exception of illusions and Robaul. Jeez, way to split up the surrogate siblings.
