They might all know he's God now, but as long as he's still having them call him Chuck, I think he's still engaged in playing a role. That may also include his current "Bad Chuck" persona. There was a little comment he made to Dean right before he started acting evil, that seemed like he was letting Dean pick how things were going to go, and possibly how he was going to portray "Chuck"  next. It was almost as if he might be letting the Winchesters pick the direction of the story. Why would Chuck be messing with them, acting weak and suicidal going into the battle with Amara, do things like ask where the bathroom bunker is? How about as a ruse to deal with the other Omniscient powerful being in the game, Amara? A maskirovka. Even if they can't eavesdrop directly on each other, without the other allowing, they can watch those the other interacts with and what they say and know. Amara is hearing Chuck is playing with and threatening his toys, not her. She hears he is weak, a mess, vulnerable. She is not hearing that he is any threat to her, and she has the freedom to enjoy the universe he created and decide she likes it. Maybe it's his super sneaky plan to deal with Amara. Maybe she even returns to "save" him.
