Oh but  he did. He knew who the new Secret Keeper was.
Voldy, first and foremost was after information. In the first instance the
whereabouts of the Potters, so he wasn't going to kill Sirius on sight.

When Sirius handed over the Secret Keepers job to Peter, he could no longer
divulge that information. But he could tell Voldy who the new Secret Keeper was.
And under Imperio! or Cruciatus! he would, too. 
So James and Lily were no better off.

If Sirius' brilliant plan had worked as intended, then five people would have
been killed (Sirius, Peter, James, Lily and Harry) instead of four (Sirius, James,
Lily and Harry). 

It's called sloppy thinking. What Baldrick would call a cunning plan.
