Not too sure about that.
Dalamud originally was just a tiny dot right next to the moon, so actually it's not that big.
Considering Hydaelyn has an atmosphere pretty similar to the one our RL earth has, that thing would probably get reduced to way less mass on it's way through the outer layers of the atmosphere and also would probably split up, leading to many meteors of different sizes raining down on Eorzea.
Looking at all the holes and stuff seen in some 2.0 pictures, I don't think the moon raining down on us would have to lead to mass extinction

Oh, and just because it was build by people does not make it less of a mini moon.
My house is not a machine either just because it was built by man.
