Spock's apparently illogical actions were based on information that he had which Kirk did not, i.e that the Talosians could provide an illosory perfect life for Pike. As for why he didn't confide in Kirk, as he said at his trial, "and ask you to risk the death penalty too?" That would be illogical!
