I don't think that the Valar were angry at Tar-Palantir himself. It was those after him especially that angered them. After Tar-Palantir's death, his daughter Tar-Miriel took the throne, but she was forced to marry Tar-Calion, or Ar-Pharazon as we better know him. Ar-Pharazon proceeded to launch an assault on Valinor, which I think is reason enough to completely destroy Numenor. Besides, it wasn't the Valar that did it. They called upon Eru to do it.
