I first want to say that it seems like you believe that all races except the Dwemer worship the 8/9 Divines. That's not true. The Argonians, for example, don't seem to be actually worshipping anything (except Sithis and the Hist, but there's a book in ESO saying that this is hardly a form of actual worship since they don't have Temples, priests, etc). The Dunmer used to worship the 3 living gods Vivec, Almalexia and Sotha Sil. The Tribunal. In the 4th era (and before the apotheosis of Vehk, Ayem and Seht) they worshipped the three "good" daedra: Azura, Mephala and Boethiah.

Anyways, the Dwemer were scientificly extremely advanced, and that they eventually found out about the whole Subgradient system existing in the TES Universe, so Kagrenac tried to reverse the Subgradients by merging all Dwemer souls into an Oversoul and making it part of an artificial god (Numidium). He failed, most likely because some Dwemer souls were missing (for example, Yagrum Bagarns soul) and because Numidium was eventually destroyed by the Underking.

So yeah, the Dwemer probably didn't worship any beings because they knew that mortal souls are technicly just like these beings, but on a much lower Subgradient.
