That was intentional on Riku's part. It's sad that he doesn't get the credit he deserves as the one who ended the Great War. However, his rationale was most likely that fame doesn't matter once you're dead. He did what he did so that the other races wouldn't deem imanity a threat in the world after the war, and they'd still be seen as the weakest race. This is likely tailored to fit with Sora's speech from the beginning of the series "nothing has changed at all. We are the weak, just as we have always been."
