The Nerevarine is not "immortal", just immune to corprus and various other things. But not aging.

"The last of the Septims passes now into history, I go gladly, for I know my sacrifice is not in vain." -Outro of Oblivion So yes, the Septim bloodline is dead, no matter how you try to twist and turn it. The Reman bloodline is dead because the last recorded son of the Reman Dynasty, and heir to its throne is long-dead. If there were to be children it would be known by someone or something and would be used if the need arises.

Prove it. Prove that the Elder Council only does politics and doesn't care for the "Greater good". Motierre was on his own, remember how secretly he did it? How he paid for it with his amulet? Surely if the council backed him, he wouldn't need to take those drastic measures of selling his amulet?

No, it might mean that Motierre has a whole plan worked out for when Mede dies, nothing in the entire game links the Elder Council to the Emperor's death. Only one individual who happened to be a member of it. Miraak was killed by a Daedric Prince who is exponentially stronger than the living Gods. But it was the Last Dragonborn who claimed Miraak's soul. Remember Miraak said he can finally escape Apocrypha and be his own man again if he can kill the LDB and absorb his soul.

He didn't instead Hermaeus Mora killed him but Miraak's soul was absorbed by the LDB. The very same thing Miraak said required to break free of Mora's control is now in the Last Dragonborn's hands. It is dubious how Mora just threatened the Last Dragonborn but didn't oppress him the same way he did with Miraak.

The whole point is, considering the number of Dragons the LDB killed, he is a pretty large piece of Akatosh, too large for me to think the Chief Deity will not do anything if Hermaeus try something funny.

Elder Council? Whenever the Emperor's bloodlines were broken, they were only interested in preserving their own interest rather than seeking out if there's more Emperors. Plus, with such a huge Elder Council if only 1 guy wants to kill him and he is like missing in Cyrodiil for at least 3 or 4 months, other Elder Council members would've noticed it already, especially if there's an effective group in Elder Council loyal to Mede II. Remember that the Empire is pretty much their backyard. They should know important thing going on at the back of their palms.

Instead only the Emperor's personal bodyguard corps were there to protect him.
