First of all, the Lion Turtle didn't give it to Aang, all Avatars are capable of performing it, but because it's so dangerous and rare, few know it exists, fewer ever learned it, and even fewer used it. Also, in a Comic Con two years ago, Mike and Bryan joked about it calling it "Anti-bending" and "Un-bending", pretty much emphasizing that it removes Bending. Just because it does something one way it doesn't mean it does both ways. What the Lion Turtle did was basically make Aang aware of it, impart that knowledge on him.
