Why do think Varys didn't tell Kevan Lannister Aegon was a Blackfyre before he killed him?

I think he wanted Kevin to feel somewhat content in his death. That explanation shows that he truly does it for the realm to put Rhaegar Jr on the throne. If he told him he was a Blackfyre, then he would know that Varys was merely on a path of vengeance. I do think he meant it when he said he had nothing against Kevin and he felt bad about doing it, although I'm sure he had none of that toward Pycelle before he killed him.
