Tanjiro is not the direct descendant of the founder of the Breath of the Sun. There is no blood relation as far as we can tell. It's hinted that his ancestor, Sumiyoshi, obtained the earrings and breathing technique from the supposed Breath of the Sun user. More than likely Muzan would just want to get rid of any potential high profile threats such as those Breath users which are recognized by the earrings.
