The problem is, that the Emperor is shielding humanity from the Warp from the Golden Throne amongst other things due mostly to damage done by Magnus the Red. So even assuming the reincarnation theory is correct, there must be a reason why the Emperor simply hasn't allowed himself to die and then be reborn. So perhaps even him leaving his throne at all would be enough time fo Chaos to fully defeat mankind.

Personally I would love to see The Emperor return which would see him track down his surviving loyal sons The Lion, Russ, Vulkan, Corax, Khan and Guilliman. Then taking on Chaos together.

It won't eveer be written though unfortunately, it's a glorious final battle prophecy akin to the one destined to take place at the end of time in LOTR.
