Caesar is well aware of his own mortality and sees the courier as someone who could be a viable replacement. He can't give it to someone who's been indoctrinated into the legion because they don't, won't, and simply can't understand its true purpose
Caesar does not believe his teachings, but gives them because he knows they're the teachings that are needed. Caesar doesn't see women as inherently inferior to men, but as the only ones who can get pregnant and have children, he understands the need to subjugate them for the purpose of repopulating humanity. Putting them in the army or into work in a world where an infected papercut will kill you is not smart. Caesar understands that technology is not weakness and should be developed - but relying heavily on old-world tech instead of redeveloping something new, reliable, and able to be built up on is what is needed. Setting up your society around an old RobCo computer might work for a few decades or even a few centuries, but when that computer dies and there are no more replacement parts, you're fucked. Hell, Caesar doesn't even think the Roman society is ideal - he just recognizes that it is a symbol of strength and its purpose is to give every person in the USA a common culture, so that when it inevitably falls, the new states won't be so eager to go to war with each other when everyone has friends and family in every single new state
