Instead we have one of its earliest creations, Mew, the common ancestor of all Pokemon, who embodies Psychic, an attribute stolen from one of the Primordial Giants. This should be extremely telling that the Plates are not the sole use of the energy of the Primordial Giants, therefore the Plates aren't true corpses.
Rather, their coffin shape is because they just embody the ending of the Primordial Giants in their original 17 forms before they were endlessly fractured into the countless lifeforms that comprise the universe Arceus created.
This is the the only possible way Arceus could end their fear of existence by making it outright impossible to think about that existential terror if Arceus refused to kill itself, by splitting their minds across so many different priorities, all at once, in countless places, that the dread no longer has a place to belong and be the defining precedent of their continued existences.
For Arceus' own continued existence would cause the Primordial Giants to still exist in some capacity even after total death, and therefore, some aspect of them would be suffering immeasurably under the enduring trauma of existing. Even just Arceus' memory of the Primordial Giants would cause them to suffer after being eradicated, because the experience that shaped Arceus would live on, proof that they existed, and still DO exist, because that experience shapes how Arceus moved forward with its act of creation.
