also vital to note is that Jesus had the idea of his death at the back of his mind, so there was no need for him to incite his death, just as a son who has been already assured by the father that he's the next heir, he adds no sense at all if he goes further to assissinate his father so that he may enherit in his father's stead.

 therefore, Jesus knew exactly his position in as far as his relationship with his was, and thus no need of inciting his death.

Also, just as the Bible says that there's   time and season to everything (Eccl 3:1-8) it means that the time was ripe for temple cleansingand Jesus had to do it,irrespective of what it could cause him or lead to.
