Why would Sidious care about deformity if he can ensure he has Anakin as his apprentice?
He was still one of his fellow Jedi who if Sidious had just killed would have been a casualty in a war against the Sith that both he and Anakin had sworn to fight. Anakin would have been far less open to Sidious's manipulations then.
By appearing as the weak victim about to be cut down he made the choice easier for Anakin.
