So you're saying that the Worldstone's "destruction" was just Tyrael eliminating the containing vessel, a shell, which revealed its true nature: Anu's spiritual power, which is embodied in Nephalem spirits? Makes sense, and explains the "Soul Prison" at the heart of Pandemonium.
But did Malthael not realize the true nature of the Soul Prison/Worldstone, then? He could not recognize Anu's being, as it was composed of Nephalem spirits? Was Baal's influence 20 years before still that powerful?
Or, perhaps Malthael DID see it for what it was for, but attempted to do two things at once; 1.) Win the Eternal Conflict, and 2.) Purify the Worldstone of Baal's influence by overpowering it with Angelic essence (Nephalem spirit minus their demonic heritage)?

Be it through hallowed grounds or lands of sorrow
All in the Forger's wake is left bereft and fallow
Is the residuum worth the cost of destruction and maiming;
Or is the shaping a culling and exercise in taming?
The road's goal is the dark Origin of Being
But be wary through what thickets it winds.
