While Molag Bal loves to spread discord and corruption among mortals, the mainr eason he created vampires was to point a middle finger at Arkay to mock him.
Though in regards to feeding, lore-wise some vampires(The order and of Cyrodiilic bloodline) have a reversed feeding because of Clavicus Vile. Not all vampires rage for blood. Some were altered to only drink a certain amount before they are fully sastified with that small portion. Though vampires drink blood mostly because of nutrition. Since they are dead, they crave the blood of the living. Since they do not age and their body aging is "paused", we can assume their bodies change as well. It explains the reason for them turning to dust upon true death.

And yet I am, and live—like vapours tossed. I long for scenes where man hath never trod A place where woman never smiled or wept There to abide with my Creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept, Untroubling and untroubled where I lie The grass below—above the vaulted sky.”
