I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Android team wanted to destroy iPhone, it's definitely the haves and the have nots (I mean, people use and like Android phones (myself included), but the iPhone is and always has been something of a phenomenon). However, I don't think the Android team (having been absorbed in an acquisition) is necessarily representative of all of Google. The only point of data I have there is their receptiveness to outside contributors (the 'we're students looking to contribute' email got 10 response on chromium-dev and didn't even make it past the android-kernel-dev moderators). I think Google's interest in android is more along the lines of ensuring that there is an open internet-enabled phone for regular people. I'd guess that Google makes more money off of iphone users use of its services than it does off of anything Android related at all.
