[MCU] So why exactly did Thanos give Loki the Scepter if it had an Infinity Stone in it?

I mean, he is trying to collect them. Did he not know or something?

He likely intended to take the scepter back when Loki presented him with the cube. Even if Loki tried to double cross him, Thanos would know exactly where the Mind Stone was and could retake it any time. There's not much of a drawback.
