You're assuming that destroying the mortal plane is what the Thalmor are after. We still don't know what their endgame is, but that is one possibility.

Even if that is what the Thalmor want, I'm sure they won't get away with it. The gods would take notice, and that would annoy them. What god wants to lose all of their worshippers and be forgotten? Another hero would rise to stop the madness of the Thalmor.

And isn't it kind of silly to say that we should let someone destroy the world, because a new one will take its place? Most people would rather live to fight another day, not give in to despair and hopelessness.

The next world will just have to fend for itself. Even we have to fend for our own.
