I don't think Oblivion residents would be affected much anyways, summoned Deadra exist just fine in the world, and not to mention the Oblivion Crisis, Dagon almost wrecked everything, Molag Bal wants to consume souls, maybe vampires somehow being defined as undead allows Meridia to hurt them, after all, she has association with light, so the sun, too.

Meridia apparently is a life giver, too, and was originally an Aedra, I believe she would burn vampires, who may be undead because their powers are gifts of Molag Bal, and presumably have their souls bound to his realm.
