Why wouldn't they give it to Konahrik? Is it possible that Miraak himself created the dragonblood, or maybe Herma MoraWhy would Akatosh chose Miraak though and not one of the nords who actualy fought Alduin? Miraak is unstable at the least, it's pretty much obvious that he would use his power as dragonborn for only his own ambitions.

For this reason I believe that Hermaeus Mora may have been the inventor of the Dragonborn. I mean he is one of if not the most powerful daedric lord.? As I said earlier (whilst not being logged on) I think that the dragonblood is given at birth. The Greybeards talk of the inborn ability to learn the Thu'um with ease. I suppose that Akatosh selected Miraak at birth (back when he wasn't even called Miraak). And he was supposed to kill Alduin, but he choose differently, and joined the Dragoncult. I suppose he saw it as the easiest way to power. When the Dragoncult could offer him no more, he joined with Hermaeus Mora.

I don't think Akatosh knew what Miraak would do with his power, just like the Dovahkiin in Skyrim can become a mass-murderer/criminal if he so pleases.
