[Matrix] When Neo woke up, why didn't the robots kill him.

When Neo first awoke from the Matrix why didn't the robots just kill him (and all humans that woke up) before 'flushing' the pod?

Because as we learned in the third movie, the machines were allowing the humans to escape and were waiting for the appearance of The One to destroy Zion and let Neo and his chosen group start it over.

I don't know what reason the humans had established for the machines not killing them, or what the logic was before they wrote the final movies, but that's the real in-universe answer.
