The Thalmor plot includes:

1. Removing Man from the Dream and from possibilty.

2. Removing the upstart Talos.

3. Unbinding the Dragon to return to the Dawn.

Never does it say anywhere that they want to destroy the Towers. This idea was presented as theory and quickly caught on as fact. The problem is the theory is based on the idea that all of the Towers stabilize Mundus and this isn't entirely true. Or more exactly, depends on who you ask. Save for two (maybe 3), the Towers were built by the Mer to provide them with world altering Dawn magic. There is no real evidence that the Towers are being destroyed by the Thalmor. At least four of them are destroyed by a Prisoner (although there is evidence that Mankar might have been Thalmor and manipulated the CoC).

To sum up. There is little to no evidence to suggest the Thalmor have anything to do with the destruction of the Towers.

On stopping the Thalmor. MK once made an offhand comment about how the Thalmor win. Many believe this to mean Landfall, which makes sense. It is fool hearted to believe that the rest of Tamriel will unite against the Thalmor. This is improbable.
