I think they mean that he regrets killing them because of the fact they are both reptilian-like creatures. I mean, maybe someone regrets killing sabers while playing as a Khajiit. They both are unrelated but they are both feline-like creatures. I see from their standpoint why they would regret killing these creatures as these races, from a roleplay standpoint. Whether they are related or not (which they are not obviously). That's like saying you would feel bad about killing primates just because you're a human. Humans don't even have a problem killing other humans.

With regards to the "Paarthurnax had no choice but to side with Alduin" argument, we can't possibly know that. He may have genuinely been a cruel tyrant before having a change of heart. In fact I think it's likely. Take a look at what his name actually meens. Paar means Ambition in the Dragon Language. Thur means Overlord. Nax means Cruelty. His name could literaly be translated as "Cruel, Ambitious Overlord". If that name is true it may be that Paarthurnax didn't side with the Humans out of a desire to help them, or in obedience to Kyne, but rather to get Alduin out of the way to establish his own dominion. MInd you this is just speculation.
