Pretty obvious, I'd say, but hey, here's the argument:
1. Obito said Itachi could kill him with knowledge
You must be registered for see images
And knowledge is gained from experience, for those of you who don't know.
So Obito carefully guarding his secrets means he was the one keeping his distance.
2. Why didn't Itachi kill him then?

Why didn't the Five Kages and all of their guards kill Tobi?
Why'd didn't Minato with all of Konoha kill Tobi?
Because Obito can phase out of and teleport away from any fight.
3. Itachi was the one (who couldn't teleport) surrounded by Tobi's allies.

Why didn't Tobi defeat Itachi and control him with genjutsu like he did with Yagura?
Why didn't Tobi store Itachi in the handy-dandy pocket-dimension until he needed him like with Torrune?
Why didn't Tobi replace Itachi with a White Zetsu clone for Sasuke like he did with Kisame?
Why did Tobi hide in the shadows for years when Itachi joined, and didn't emerge until just before Itachi died?
4. Itachi was Tobi's problem.

Regardless of translation specifics, Itachi was a problem.
And Tobi didn't make a move on Konoha until Itachi was dead.
If Tobi betrayed a pact after the pactmaker died, that means he didn't respect the pact.
Only the pactmaker. Tobi didn't move purely because he didn't want to cross a living Itachi.
He had Akatsuki annihilating Konoha before Itachi's body was even cold.
4. Tobi thought Itachi was the bee's-knees. Itachi thought Tobi ['current Madara'] was pathetic.

And you'd be surprised how many can't differentiate 'pathetic shell of former self' from 'invincible Madara.'
5. Tobi's Kamui has an obvious counter.

Tobi cannot attack and defend at the same time.
Gai countered Obito's offense with his nunchucks. It isn't unstoppable.
But guess who has clones? Guess who can fool a Dragon Sage and EMS user with feints?
Guess whose clones explode, which can make Obito absorb explosive damage like Konan did?
Heck, he has exploding clones and one of the fastest ninjutsu and one the fastest jutsu molding speeds.
Itachi's a walking counter to Obito's Kamui.
The author wouldn't even have to create new jutsu out of nowehere for Itachi to look great...
5. Tobi's only other primary jutsu was Izanagi

Who was that ninja with the jutsu specifically designed to trounce Izanagi?
Conclusion
So, why didn't the terminally ill teenager with deteriorating eyesight that was waltzing around the enemy base as a known double-agent for nearly a decade, who was actively keeping the Big Bad from attacking Konoha again, kill the Big Bad? Because the Big Bad was hiding in the shadows. He was hiding from Itachi so effectively that even the readers didn't know he existed until the 300 chapters in.

1) Obito said Itachi could kill him with knowledge? Whilst seemingly a correct interpretation, "Lit" just chooses the side to this ambiguous quote stated by Obito. With knowledge, yes he could kill him. Not in a way that Itachi could solo him, but reveal Obito's secrets, secret identity, and motives to the Kages, therefore turning the akatsuki against him, meaning there won't be a revival of madara and basically a bounty on his head. 'I'd be dead right now' is also an exaggeration since no one can actually kill him as long as he has his phasing ability. With knowledge there's no way Itachi gets past obito's kamui. You know some day you'll need to look at the deeper meaning b4 stopping at the point where the quote pleases you.
So Obito carefully guarding his secrets means he was the one keeping his distance.
2) Obito was keeping his distance because they both agreed that Obito would keep away from the village and not attack it, in return Itachi wouldn't reveal his identity to others. Read the manga son.

Why couldn't Obito kill itachi?
Because he couldn't. Obito negs the Itachi's Yata and Totsuka with phasing. Itachi had plenty of chances to hunt down Obito, but he knew that Obito's MS was far superior. Itachi needed Sasuke's MS to compete with madara, as stated by Itachi himself.
a) Tobi can actually take 5 kages alone, and still med diff them, seeing as he took on 2 perfect Jinjuriki, One 8 gate user, and one other MS user.
b) It was Obito, a 14 year old, vs a hokage. Lol don't get ahead of yourself brah. He's only an inexperienced 14 year old who tamed a tailed beast. Itachi was incapable of such thing.
try again buddy
If anything, why couldn't Itachi kill his own clan, and had to seek help for Obito? Lol.

Tobi actually can attack and defend at the same time, like he did multiple times against Naruto Bee, Kakashi and Gai like here:

Lel obviously gai countered Obito's taijutsu since gai is an expert at Tai.
Exploding clones is a variant of Shadow clone. Even Diedara used it. lol.

try again bud.
Tobi has an obvious counter to Kamui? Is that so? Care to elaborate?
Izanagi does fails since Obito knows was himself, and was pretending to be madara in hopes of terrorizing the shinobi villages and start a war.
Simply put, there's nothing Itachi can do against a superior opponent like Obito.
Susano + Yata Mirror + Totsuka blade? Fail against Kamui
Izanagi ? Doesn't even work
Amaterasu? Tanked.
Tsukuyomi? Negged just as 3T Sasuke did.
+ Didn't Itachi have to use Sasuke as bait to kill Obito because he couldn't do it 1v1? :|
To conclude;
One MS obito > Itachi.
One sec, why dafuq aren't we comparing TWO MS Obito with Itachi, who's wielding TWO MS's with weapons that do not even belong to him.
Oh that's right... Two MS Obito shitstomps and lol-diffs Itachi.

like c'mon brah, this is the dude that needed to beg Obito to help him kill his own clan. f***. This comparison is a disgrace to Lord Obito. :|
In the end One MS Obito > Dual MS + Yata Mirror + Totsuka blade Itachi.
Obito doesn't even need Mokuton for this.
As obito, and kishimoto's hand stated:
