Lorkhan is the eternal enemy of the Thalmor, who blame him most directly for trapping them in the material prison and stripping them of their divinity. However, for all intents and purposes, Lorkhan is dead: he had his heart torn out by Trinimac, and shot into the sea by Auriel. Talos mantled Lorkhan, and in so doing filled his empty seat in the mythic: in this way Talos is Lorkhan, but has managed to retain a separate individual identity from him by virtue of CHIM. Were Lorkhan alive he would be fortifying the wheel of convention, but as he is not, and Talos inherited his empty throne, Talos does this instead. Thus the Thalmor seek to remove Talos' influence.

As for how Lorkhan can continue to affect Nirn after his death? Well, death doesn't really hold much finality when considering Gods.
