The Thalmor hate Tiber Septim/Talos for two reasons, first he utterly crushed the First Aldmeri Dominion with the might of Numidium, they never even had a prayer. Secondly, when Tiber Septim, Wulfharth of Atmora, and Zurin Arctus became Talos/Ysmir they were simply becoming Lorkhan again. Think about it All of Talos' and Lorkhan/Shor/ Shezzar/Sep's traits mirror one another with the exception that Talos isn't openly acknowledged as being tied to the creation of Mundus. Lorkhan is a spirit of heroic endevor and battle (he also respects magic too, as his shield thane Tsun said). The reason the Thalmor have banned Talos worship is because his worship under all his other names has given way to this one. Lastly the Thalmor have only become desperate because of the metaphysical repercussions of the Oblivion Crisis on regaining godhood individually as Auriel/Akatosh tought them. Also even though the elves ancestors had somthing doesn't mean that the elves themselves are by default entitled to it. My theory is that another incarnation of the Nirn god of War, Talos/Lorkhan will crush the Thalmor sometime in the lore's future.
