If they're able to do that they've got other ways of finding resources.
We're talking about a civilization that has basically mastered worm hole type travel..Are they going to stop by and suck up all our oxygen or water? What other resources do we have that they could want?
A planet the size of earth and it's distance from a star, is the perfect size for life, of the sort we are accustomed to, to evolve on.
Even if your point was true that they wouldn't want or need our resources, we would be a grand evolutionary spectacle in relation to them just as they would to us.
Hence, the result would be close to the same. 'Contact' would be invasion and would be, not detrimental, but catastrophic.

We don't even have (legit) theories on how that's possible.
Who cares about 'our' theories? This civilization could be billions of years more advanced than us.

Much like humans and animals on this planet.
In this universe we are just another animal/living thing and in this case, it's dominate or be dominated.
