I may have missed it, but I've no clue why they did it, and ended up making themselves vulnerable to the csestriim. Any ideas?

Just read the whole series and I was wondering the same thing. The author did not seem to state explicitly WHY they inhabited the bodies but here are a few thought(s) with an attempt to avoid spoilers:
- Ego - Meshkent, especially, got a little full of himself and wanted a bigger portfolio
- Love - Ciena attempting to save her husband
- Hull - to fix things, the Kettral were tough but were a Csestriim tool
- Ego - Intarra, b/c she didn't want to be the sole Elder god hanging out on Olympus/Asgard/where-ever they were
