If the omnimatrix (I call the square one that) is ever destroyed somehow the DNA still exists. If the Omnitrix is destroyed, Azmuth can replace it. However, Azmuth's statement in War of the Worlds implies that he does not have any backups of the DNA database and that the Omnitrix is the only copy and must be protected at all costs. Why would he not have a backup of the Omnitrix DNA database if preserving species is so important to him? Well, one good reason is that a database of all the DNA of the galaxy's intelligent species would be highly valuable even without the Omnitrix.

The inclusion of Primus and the Codon Stream directly contradicts the information we were given about the Omnitrix up to that point. There is no in-universe reason for it, it's sloppy writing. When Azmuth explains the purpose of Primus, Ben doesn't once point out that he said the opposite previously despite that information being integral to the Highbreed Invasion story arc. It is quite obvious that the concept of Primus did not exist during the first two seasons and was invented wholesale for the third without any thought given to continuity.
