Peter's big into survival of the fittest and he sees Scott's power and his choices regarding it, as a criminal waste and as a weakening of the species in general and the propogation of the same weakness he blamed Talia for while he was recovering from his arson induced burns in the hospital.

He doesn't hate Scott, but he sees him as unfit to lead in a world where weakness is exploited by the strong at every turn. You really can't blame him for feeling that way considering what happened to him and his family. Perhaps if Scott was more receptive to tutelage under Peter he might not feel that he is a danger to himself and to his species.

In Peter's mind it is his responsibility to be the Alpha, to be strong enough that no one will hurt him or his own again. Scott is simply a means to that end. I don't think he wants to kill Scott for any personal reason, but because it is his responsiblity to do so.
