Actually only the Prophets want the humans dead, because the fact that humans are somehow related to the Forerunners would shatter the Covenant's religion, placing humans in a position above the Prophets. They order the Elites and the rest of the Covenant to do their dirty work, and the reason they give to the Elites is that the humans desecrate Forerunner artifacts; apparently they seek out and destroy them purposefully, according to the Prophets. Elites view this as heresy beyond measure, and so they set out to exterminate humans.
However, there is a degree of respect for humans among Elites, such as willing to let them "die by the sword" which is an honor among Sangheili(Elite) culture. You can find more proof of Elites admiring humans in the Halo 2 Collector's edition manual, The "Conversations from the Universe" and "Halo: The Cole Protocol"
