The movie stated that the celestials existed before the big bang, and are the same ones we saw. For beings so old, Thanos delaying it by a few thousand years was probably about equal to adding a couple of seconds to a bomb's timer.

Also, like mentioned above, the aftermath of war created prosperity. That was basically Thanos' entire motive. The celestials we're probably totally fine with delaying it a few seconds to speed it up in the long run. Like a movie where they cut the wrong wire, and timer stops, then restarts even faster.

Again, on Earth, this isn't what happened. First snap delayed it, second snap bringing back half the population sped it up. Unless they knew the second snap was coming, they probably should have done something about it. I guess this also assumes they knew the first snap was coming. It may have caught them by surprise. Eternals seemed pretty focused on their one planet. May not have been keeping an eye on galactic level threats.

Your point on their timeline is valid though. When they are operating on timelines of millions of years, probably don't care if some emergences get delayed by a few thousand years (if it even would have been that long).
