Warpers were almost certainly created before they even isolated the Emperor as a potential cure. Also you interpretation of how the Precursors considered the Sea Emperors seems off to me. Most things we know about them would imply they were pretty cold and unfeeling. We don't know if the carvings on their bases are ceremonial either. There are some implications that they are perhaps a practical feature rather than purely cosmetic.
