SPOILERS: Meliodas held on to it because releasing the 10 commandments out of it is the only way for him to absorb the commandments and become powerful enough to break his and Elizabeth's curse. It's subtly hinted to that even though Meliodas never wanted the 10 commandments to come back, he always knew that it had to happen in order for him to achieve his ultimate goal. That's also why he gathered the 7 deadly sins, because he knew the seal would be broken and that he would have to deal with the commandments.
