Why, for the love of wisdom, scare him in public?

Better than scaring him in a dark alley. At least he'll have time to think through his reaction.

Also, he scared pretty much the entire Wizengamot (plus a Dementor!), not just Lucius. “I scared him, and people know why” is different than “I scared him, and people know it”. [ETA:] It’s no loss of face to be scared by someone who more or less scared everyone else.
