The same way that Ysgramor and his Companions were justified when they went on their crusade and nearly wiped out the Snow Elves.

The same way that Alessia was justified when she and her armies overthrew the Ayleids and exiled them from Cyrodil.

The same way the Chimer were justified when they fought the Dwemer and caused them to disappear.

It's all based on POV. Every one of these events are seen as right by the ones doing it. If the Altmer want to see the races of men as inferior and try to wipe them out, then let them try. Just as we let the races of men try to defend themselves and in turn try to wipe out the elves or enslave them.
