They know that stopping all Talos worship will make him cease to exist, as is true with any God. They want Talos' influence gone because he supports creation, and the Thalmor want to destroy it. And only the Aedra depend on the beliefs of mortals: Talos is a man-god. Maybe the Thalmor think that removing his worship will destroy him, in which case they're wrong, or maybe they think that removing his worship will prevent him from holding Mundus together, in which case they might be right.
