As confusing as it sounds, 天 can mean heaven or point.

Protip: Some Japanese characters can mean literally HUNDREDS of things depending on the context. 点 and 天 can mean the same thing, but since 天 is used more often as "heaven", 点 is used frequently for "point".

It means that I want to marry biribiri.

天 is used to mean "point" with the same frequency as "gay old time" is used today to mean "to have fun."

The misunderstanding you're having is this:
東方 is most usefully translated as "Eastern way." This is because 東 simply means "East" or "Eastern" (東京 Tokyo = Eastern Capital) and 方 means "way," both in the sense of "direction" and in the sense of "a way of doing things."
In the same way, Seihou is just West+way and Tenhou is Heaven+way. Trying to combine them in whatever fashion you like just doesn't make sense in Japanese. No more than just saying eastwestheaven makes sense in English.

Wait, why does Touhou and Seihou have 方 at the end whereas Tenhou has 和 at the end?
