He did not destroy it - he took it over. This was an ambition of his father Phillip II of Macedonia, however he was murdered and his son Alexander successfully took on the project.

People don't want to destroy an empire - it is much more valuable and rewarding as a going concern. The government within the Empire simply changed. Alexander retained some of the existing Persian provincial governors, replaced others with Macedonian generals. But he was about establishing good government and prosperity, not destroying.
