1: Hermaeus didn't give him his dovahkiin blood, only the knowledge of Bend Will.

2: As far as I know, Akatosh isn't all-knowing. He couldn't know Miraak's destiny, only try to shape it as he saw fit. Only the elder scrolls (and maybe Hermaeus) knows anybody's destiny. Akatosh could maybe want Miraak's destiny to be to slay Alduin, but that doesn't mean that it would be.
