First things first, Alpha Legion were created to be the infiltrators, spies, sabotors, etc. of the Imperium. They were the unseen force of the Imperium. Emphasis on 'were'.

Alpharius Omegon made their legion look like them in order to ensure that they were completely untraceable by all except their brothers, and even then the only person that can actually know who they are is the Emperor of Mankind. As for their turn to Chaos, it doesn't matter. Chaos is insanity incarnate. Period. Tzeench is the perfect example of this. And as for the Cabals vision: If humanity goes extinct, then the Chaos gods die? Not going to happen. The Chaos gods pre-date the very birth of Terra. They were already plotting and fighting when mankind was a monkey in the trees. There is no way that the extinction of mankind would kill the Chaos gods. However, killing all followers, manifested daemons, and alien species might do the trick...
