Tho I don't want to die not knowing who the creator(s) of bitcoin is.

maybe it's goingto be one of those situations where the last person of the team or if it's the lone person, reveals who the creator is at their deathbed...
Until this time Satoshi Nakamoti is unknown and nobody knows his Identity. I think even the core dev doesnt know about Satoshi nakamoto's Identity. I dont know why he wants to keep his privacy even he knows he was the one behind bitcoin.
Because when you come with this idea in mind, it's basically an idea against governments, banks, authorities and the existing financial system. A war on paper money. And because he is anonymous, nobody can do anything against him because Satoshi Nakamoto might not even be his real name. However, I do have a slight belief that Bitcoin has been created by the NSA because they spoke about cryptocurrencies in late '90s. Creating this kind of decentralized currency (which unfortunately for Bitcoin, becomes more and more centralized) can always be a weapon that could be used against you at some point. This is a safety measure he might have taken. If it is the NSA that created it, they used the "anonymous creator" thing to make people believe it is a great innovation, a good investment opportunity etc.
