There are a number of problems concerning the destruction of the homeworld. The Covenant is an empire they have more than 1 planet. If the homeworld is taken out it may only fuel the Covenants anger against the humans.
Another thing the Grunts, Jackals, Hunters, Brutes are either slaves or threatened to fight for and support the Covenant. If they rebelled there would be a lot of problems. I have a feeling in halo2 a species will rebel, it seems like a good twist.
