So I want/need to create a bunch of really powerful outsiders for a setting i have, and would like some advice on how to create them.
the first one i have an idea for is Saint Mir, A dragon turned celestial dragon dragonslayer...
that doesn't make much sense... okay story-time.
Disraeli Mir was once a mortal dragon, born without the grand scales and powerful body of his kin, and without their grand wings, and was hated and shunned for it. Despite his acomplishments in evocation magic he was tossed into a cursed flame and left to die.
There he spoke to Hu'untar (Think Odin + Prometheus) who took him in as his own. When he emerged Disraeli Mir became a being of flame and light, and took the name Saint Mir, swearing to wipe the dragons off the face of Praeon.
Saint Mir grants his blessing upon all who call dragons their enemy, no matter their alignment and without their permission or even desire for such in many cases.
that, how does one stat that?

Create meaning as gods, with domains etc., or create as a monster, with HP etc.?
Genociding all dragons doesn't sound good to me. Metallic dragons, to say nothing of exceptional chromatic dragons, are a thing. Are you sure he's not self-deluding evil?
Create as a monster mostly, i've looked at the high level things in the four bestiary some, but i'm not confident in making one on my own yet.
This setting only has one species of dragon, which presumably killed or drove to extinction all the others a long time ago. they are not attuned to any one element, but all are powerful arcane casters.

Start with a Great Wyrm dragon as a base. Add 20 to 2 stats, 10 to 3 others. Then add some ranger levels with favored enemy (dragon).
Then give him 3 unique powers for coolness that don't have to follow any rules or be fair, like:
- on a critical hit the target just bursts into holy/divine flames like catching fire.
- Dragons in a certain radius have all color drain from their scales and lose all benefits based on dragon color (breath weapon, waterbreathing but not subtype. A red dragon will lose its melt stone or fire aura, but will still be immune to fire.
- Can strip the half-dragon template from a creature.
- Every arrow he fires is a dragon-bane arrow.
Those are just examples though (and I see you've added that there's only one kind of dragon), but that's a starting point... of some kind... for one path.
