That's not a bad observation. Establishing a motive for Peryite killing sentient beings with pesitilence and plague could be a stepping stone to better understanding him and his grand shceme and his views. The paradox of his methods and your observations is that Disease can be both used for chaos and order and to examine which principle Peryite seems to support more would be profitable for the sake of more knowledge on the subject.

If, as you say, Peryite maybe wishes to return the world to a non-sentient state in order to plunge the world to unchanging status, then disease would be a viable way to do so and Order would be established. However, the problem with this is that Peryite states he favors "Natural Order," and killing off an entire race of Men or Mer by disease would not be Natural, as some would at least survive, due to the fact that maybe Peryite likes to play with mortals and the loss of all of them would be a very dreary prospect to the good Daedric Prince, but that is entirely speculation. There isn't a lot of information about Peryite and so knowing his motives is left up to an educated guess.
