Your insert is not formed properly. Bellow is am example of a proper one.(though not equivilant to what you want)

INSERT INTO control_point_geometry

                     ( a.geometry.sdo_gtype,
                     a.geometry.sdo_point.x,
                     a.geometry.sdo_point.y)

 SELECT b.id, 1, b.easting, b.northing
FROM control_points b;
