The Imperial Creed teaches that all xenos are no good, it doesn't matter how humanoid the xeno is. Abhumans are appreciated within the Imperium since they're kind have been alive since the Dark Age of Technology and they have a role to play within the Imperial Guard.

And the Emperor disliked aliens to a degree, but he would be willing to spare them if they were not aggresive. Xenos such as the Orks were the most hated xeno. And unlike the Imperial Creed, the Imperial Truth was not plagued with religious junk and complete xenophobia.

The Craftworld Eldar and Tau are quite weak, yet the Craftworld Eldar are less at a threat from the Tyranids than the Tau are. If several new hive fleets appear in the Eastern Fringe, the Tau are possibly done for. Even if the Tyranids don't destroy the Tau completly, then of course the Imperium will take advantage and finish off the Tau.
