Humans need machines to survive and machines need humans to survive, interdependent. It was Neo that brokered the truce between man and machine because he realized that they both deserve to live. Hell, even Morpheus says that people who are not part of the 1% are so ingrained, so dependent on The Matrix that they will fight to save it and protect it.

It seems like the EPN just stopped at the first move and didn't bother to view Reloaded or Revolution.

From a story stand point your assumption makes since however thats not the full picture or the complete ideology of EPN.

From the story, remember that the last time the Kid sees Neo is when giving him the spoon from "Spoon boy" he never has a chance to sit and talk/listen to him or Morpheus during there brief stay in Zion so Michael really has no idea of what Neo uncovers in Reloaded and Revolutions. Now granted Morpheus does live through the films and could have told some of this to Michael however as we saw in MxO Morpheus attitude never really changes plus I don't think Neo shared much with Morpheus in there final 72 hours. In fact his most "enlightening" moments happen in Revolutions where he secludes himself from everyone for awhile and then runs off with Trinity soon after so Morpheus is just as much in the dark as the Kid would have been.

But even still the fact that Neo spares the Machines should have hinted at something for Michael or Morpheus to have figured out. Morpheus it seems gave up on that but the Kid did not. Note that I said that EPN was anti Machine control, not anti Machine. This difference is very important. EPN was never gung ho for a war or killing off every rust bucket, at least the major players weren't. EPN was more about creating a real peace and to do that they thought that they needed to remove the limitation on who could and couldn't be freed 1% or not. To them it didn't matter, those that didn't want out would say so and move on the point wasn't to try and free everyone they could it was just to give everyone that option.

This I now believe changed though and somewhere along the line the Kid figured out the Machines may or may not have been the real ones pulling the strings which was why they started making a push for discovering what was inside the no fly zone the Machines had up.
