I think it's important to recognize that Izuru is an entirely different person from Hinata. Izuru is not an extension of Hinata, Izuru was an entirely different consciousness brought out through the surgery. Izuru was basically someone else using Hinata's body, until Hinata eventually managed to regain control. Izuru himself also wasn't evil, and was pretty much a neutral party to everything that happened.
