I think the largest evidence that Talos was indeed divine and deserved to be worshiped comes from The Knights of the Nine Storyline. Even Pelinal Whitestrake couldn't banish Umaril's soul from the mortal plane, but he said that now in this time(the time of The Crusaders), the knights had something they never did, the risen ninth divine Talos. After defeating Umaril's physical aspect only with Talos' blessing are you able to travel the the realm which Umaril's soul takes sanctuary and banish it from Mundus. So clearly Talos' has the ethereal power to transcend the planes of existence and and the aspect of omnipotent righteousness that helps define the other of the 8 divines.

There was something to him in Skyrim, firstly the graybeards tell the Dovakiin that he is Talos/Tiber Septim reborn, calling him Yisgrimr. Secondly, when the PC ended up in Soverngaurd, Talos is no place to be found and the player is able to sit in his seat of power within Soverngaurd. The PC is not supposed to be able to do that, none but Tiber can. Something else to think about...
