1) The Emperors webway project wasn't aimed at accessing the Eldar's webway but to create his own webway alongside & separate from the Eldar's version.

2) To avoid the Horus Heresy rebellion in some form would have needed the Emperor to understand his sons but by the time of the heresy it was proven that he was unable to empathise with them at any reasonable level & worse was ignorant of his failings in this regard.

3)Angron was dying, the butchers nails were killing him & only Lorgar turning Angron into a demon prince saved him from an agonizing death so whether or not the Emperor moved to purge him Angron was not long for the land of the living.

4) Konrad Curze was hopelessly insane & he hated the Emperor simply for creating him & he would have turned on the empire even without the heresy & would have been purged in any case.

5) Some of the primarchs (Corax, Guilliman, Sanguinious, Vulkan, Magnus, Lorgar) actually looked forward to the end of the crusade & a life beyond war or would have accepted the situation out of loyalty (Dorn) but the majority would never have willingly surrendered their legions for a life of peace.

6) On the other hand the Emperor obviously had roles in a post crusade empire in mind for each of the primarchs eg: Gulliman was set to be the empires chief administrator, Alpharius was to be the head of the secret service, Russ the threat hanging over them if they misbehaved etc.

7) In the end though for the heresy not to have happened it would have needed the Emperor to be aware of his own failings & mistakes so as to rectify them & it was obvious that he wasn't & couldn't so The heresy in some form was inevitable from the moment the Emperor first created the primarchs.
