Have *you* read them lately? Quoting from the sacred texts you cite, the very 2nd sentence of "The Nature of Chaos" reads:
"But the Gods War weakened that order, and admitted chaos into the world, where it still exists."
Chaos is in the world now, brought there by the actions of the Gods, just like rain and storm and a moving sun are now in the world. Any distinction between one as "natural" and one as "unnatural" is completely arbitrary.
Another interesting line is
"The battle against chaos is integral to the mythology of Glorantha; without it, the world as it exists is not understandable."
Plagairizing DuPont (or Dow?), "Without Chaos, Gloratha itself would be impossible".
