Though the Blades did come from the Dragonguard, they were founded after the extiction of dragons to serve the Emperor. Correct me if I'm wrong. I do not study Elder Scrolls lore much, so I might have some stuff wrong. They were founded to serve the Emperor because traditionally the Emperor was "Dragonborn", which they refer to as the "ultimate dragonslayer". I believe Delphine says this herself in the game so she and Esbern are well aware they're committing genocide. Most people playing Skyrim just don't realise this because they aren't aware that lore-wise, Dovah are considered a race just like any other.
