In Riposte he stopped her attack on Adrien and made clear that he wants the Miraculouses first. And no, he did not know that Adrien might have been in the sarcophagus or that he is Cat Noir.

He sent them after Adrien and tried to make sure that Adrien would be gone when they arrive. They were just too fast and Adrien was willing to do everything in his power to protect his cousin.

Of course she couldn't find him. And because of that his promise of revenge was a lie.

There are many villains that could have gotten him the Miraculouses and still failed. Almost is just not good enough.

Chloé is not able to replace Lila. And Hawk Moth knows how valuable Lila is for him.

Lila has fooled almost everybody and will continue to do so.

She was extremely close to succeed as Volpina and Chameleon, she made Heroes' Day possible and she deeply impressed him in Oni-Chan and on many other occasions.

Lila IS indispensable and Hawk Moth knows that.
