Regina wasn't thanked for killing her parents. She was thanked for waking her up. Emma remarks that what Regina did was dark, but those wish realm people were essentially treated as fake. It's not like Regina enjoyed torturing Emma and then Emma thanked her for going to such lengths. If we go by that, then Emma and Regina happily let Rumple go raze villages.
