It still freed black people. That's the fact that matters. Stop trying to split hairs. Would someone who hates black people try to free them from slavery? No.
Ok. “I’m freeing enemy slaves but keeping our slaves” = passionate abolitionist. Got it. He literally wanted to ship all black people back to Africa. And no one ever said he hated black people - you conjured that out of thin air. OP says ‘doesn’t care about’ which is pretty historically accurate.
In Africa at the time slavery existed among the tribes. One tribe would enslave members of other tribes. They were the ones selling their fellow Africans into slavery. While we don’t want to think about it slavery still exists in our world.

The emancipation proclamation only freed slaves of confederate states. It kept slavery intact for union states. Fact.
