There are conflicting explanations for the state of the Falmer, but the one that I remember Gelebor proposing was that the Dwemer took away their eyesight using a toxic fungus, yes, but their primitive state in modern times must have been "evolved."

I don't think that Gelebor can simply solve the problem by mating with falmer. Not only would there be insufficient genetic diversity for that solution to be viable, but sentient being+animal will not really make a decent creature. I doubt that modern Falmer even share the same DNA as Gelebor.
