These Blades are obviously not the Blades of the past, and they will eventually irrationally assume the Last Dragonborn to be a threat and attempt to 'discard' him/her, no matter who you've sided with./div>

That is pure speculation that has no base to hold onto. They give no sign or mention that they assume the Dragonborn as a risk, they see him as a Dragonhunter and the person they are to support and protect.

The Graybeards see the events of Skyrim as the end times, They believe that Alduins return means it needs to happen:

"Have you considered that Alduin was not meant to be defeated? Those who overthrew him in ancient times only postponed the day of reckoning, they did not stop it. If the world is meant to end, so be it. Let it end and be reborn."

They tell you about the word walls to train you, they want you to follow the peaceful path their faith follows. They do not do it to train you for war. The only reason they get involved with the war during the Seasons unending quest is Paarthurnax tells them to.

They wanted the one Dragon dead, Paarthurnax was (as the blades see it) a war criminal. The other two Dragons are of less interest to them because one directly helped the Dragonborn by taking him to stop the threat, and the other had little involvement in the war because he made a deal that kept him from partaking. And you cannot blame programming for the fact they say nothing, them saying nothing becomes them not caring until Bethesda says otherwise.

The Between the two, the Blades have done more for the war effort, The Thalmor killed them because it their early involvement. The Blades are better for the war because they are the ones hunting down a way to stop the dragons, they are better for the world for trying to stop the Thalmor. The only member of the Greybeards of any value to the world is the Dragon, his death sucks, but between the two groups the Blades are of more use then five old men who refuse to speak.
