Of course he's aware, because he's involved in the conspiracy within the CCG. So he knows the true face of the CCG, which is an organization that hunts ghouls and maintains the status quo for V through violence and fear.

I think the problem isn't that Arima is a badly-written character, but rather that you're looking at his purpose and role the wrong way. Arima is intimately tied into the mysteries of the series. He is a Mythical Figure, someone people see as larger than life and that has been intentionally built up around him to the point Matsuri dismissively compares his admirers to a cult. But the actual Arima is someone we've only caught glimpses of, because he's wearing a mask as much as Kaneki does. He holds everything in.
