If yes, cool. If no, why bring down the government? I get the contempt thing, but if its just going to be another Conservative minority, what's the point?

The point
could be to prevent a Conservative majority in a year. Or to show some backbone in the face of Conservative transgressions. There are lot of scenarios outside of a Liberal plurality that would make an election now a good strategic move for the Liberals.
I will also add that campaigns matter. Just because the Conservatives are polling in minority government range at the start of the campaign does not mean they'll finish there.
