I don't think it's that much of a difference. Kaneki fought Arima and beat him. Arima killing himself in the end because Kaneki didn't want to finish him off doesn't change the fact that Kaneki is the ghoul who fought the strongest investigator and won.

Simply saying "I killed Arima." is just a small lie to make it easier to understand for his supporters that Kaneki is the OEK now. And aside of that, it's questionable if Akira would believe him if he told her that he didn't want to kill Arima. Sounds like a poor excuse to gain her trust.
