It would, imo, make Darcy a hypocrit to consider Caroline. Lizzie is one sphere removed from his station, but Caroline is two and is not gentility despite her attitude. Additionally, no matter how superficially polished Caroline's manners do not match up to that sphere. Most glaringly noted in her calling Elizabeth "Eliza" on short acquaintence.
She really only has money and superficial accomplishments to reccomend her, and Darcy has already implicity stated that he needs an improved mind.
I also don't remember any evidence of Darcy actually encouraging Bingley and Georgiana and I don't think he would.
