well didn't akatsuki want to destroy konoha for a while and it was itachi who was preventing them from doing it? the ninja villages all stand in the way of the moon's eye plan and akatsuki collecting the bijou and basically akatsuki doing whatever it wants. infinite tsukiyomi would put the entire world under genjutsu theoretically, but only the powerful ninja villages have the strength and knowledge to stop it. the rest of the world is oblivious and incapable. destroying konoha and the other major villages is another piece to akatsuki's puzzle of world domination. and the second itachi was dead, they went straight for konoha again. it doesn't have to be an act of vengeance. it's an act of necessity to wipe out a threat

not only that, but the kyuubi attack was necessary to set up the uchiha to be suspicious and ultimately massacred and set that whole line of events involving itachi and sasuke in motion as well. so even if it failed to annihilate konoha (which it did) it still served a purpose
