The end times for 40k won't destroy everything like happened in Warhammer Fantasy, 40k is in much better shape & doesn't need anything that drastic & even GW is unlikely to be stupid enough to wreck everything & start over. What they will do is advance the story beyond the 42nd millennium in the process change the baseline status to a new heading. As stated the empire is in serious trouble & to survive in some form will need an edge Having the primarchs return & having the Emperor elevated to full on god to curb the chaos gods influence will give the imperium that edge. It will also freshen up the story a great deal with many new possibilities for plotlines, expect most readers can think of quite a few without stretching much at all.
