The reason all Thalmor deserve to die is that they think they deserve to be in charge and to rule Nirn. They don't. The people decide who they want to rule them. In very few cases is that a bunch of deranged elf-Nazis. And yes, they are basically Nazis. By the way, their plan involves literally destroying the world so they can become gods again like their ancestors (and, incidentally, the ancestors of all other races as well) were long ago. They think elves are better than humans. They may be right. But the beast races are at least as good as mer, because CATS > pointy-ear people. Everybody forgets about the poor Khajiit and Argonians...

Anyway, whether, say, Talos is actually a Divine is completely beside the point. The Thalmor do not get to decide what anybody else believes. They do not have that right. They do not have the right to rule. If they want to think elves are superior, fine. But they can't tell everybody else that they have to simply accept their position as the serfdom while the ruling class, those who are intelligent enough to make decisions, make sure that the poor, foolish humans don't hurt themselves.

TL;DR The Thalmor are awful. This is non-negotiable. Altmer in general are, again, a different matter.
