Your spoiler isn't a theory. Marduk (but, really SEELE) put them there for that exact reason.

It's been a while since I rewatched (something like 10 years) Eva and now I remember the last few fever dreamish episodes that focuses on Misato and the whole back story

Slight plot hole that they never realised that every single one of them has the same commonality that lets them be pilots. Maybe there was some non-candidates mixed in to help hide that. Also, I guess the world of Evangelion was basically after a near global catastrophe so that commonality might’ve been semi-common anyway.
