Yes First they want to remove the "upstart" Talos, so that the Time Dragon would be free to roam once again. Then they want to kill off all the humans and destroy all the memmories of them, so that there would be no possibility that they even had existed. Yes Finaly, they want to destroy the Towers, so that Mondus would be no more and according to them, that what will restore all mer to their devinity. No

What Kirkbride has said about The Thalmor only includes Talos, Akatosh ,and man, not the towers. What appears to be an Altmeri commentary on Talos:

To kill Man is to reach Heaven, from where we came before the Doom Drum's iniquity. When we accomplish this, we can escape the mockery and long shame of the Material Prison.

To achieve this goal, we must:

1) Erase the Upstart Talos from the mythic. His presence fortifies the Wheel of the Convention, and binds our souls to this plane.

2) Remove Man not just from the world, but from the Pattern of Possibility, so that the very idea of them can be forgotten and thereby never again repeated.

3) With Talos and the Sons of Talos removed, the Dragon will become ours to unbind. The world of mortals will be over. The Dragon will uncoil his hold on the stagnancy of linear time and move as Free Serpent again, moving through the Aether without measure or burden, spilling time along the innumerable roads we once travelled. And with that we will regain the mantle of the imperishable spirit.

they belive they are able to do it without the towers.
