Thing is the Thalmor WANT Nirn's destruction. Since according to most lore, Nirn was created throught the sacrifice of their ancestor's divinity, and its cotinued existence binds them further. The Thalmor seek to destroy reality as it is known in order to return to a more primordial godhood. That's why they want to destroy the towers such as White-Gold where the Wheel of Convention is located. Creatia, or the power of creation stabilizing Tamriel is centered there.



Another example is their desire to destroy Ada-Mantia which is the Tower in High Rock that binds linear reality. So no, I don't think they're any grateful of the Dragonborn stopping the destruction of Nirn.



Although, since by stopping Alduin you prolong the current cycle, you give them more chances to destroy reality. Since otherwise, Alduin would eat the world, shit it out again and things would be renewed in a new Kalpic Cycle where they would once again be stuck with the races of men.
