identify this tv show - Aliens arrive to stop a hybrid child who has telekinetic powers

I believe this may be the 1979 film The Visitor.



This is the description of the film from Drafthouse Films, who currently has distribution rights:




... legendary Hollywood director/actor John Huston (The Maltese Falcon; Treasure Of The Sierra Madre) stars as an intergalactic warrior who joins a cosmic Christ figure in battle against a demonic 8-year-old girl, and her pet hawk, while the fate of the universe hangs in the balance. Multi-dimensional warfare, pre-adolescent profanity and brutal avian attacks combine to transport the viewer to a state unlike anything they've experienced... somewhere between Hell, the darkest reaches of outer space, and Atlanta, GA . The Visitor fearlessly fuses elements of The Omen, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, The Birds, Rosemary’s Baby, The Fury and even Star Wars ...




... and user reviews on IMDB offer more details that match your description:




... an evil alien force ... named Zatteen ... impregnates a number of women, passing along his mutated genes and allowing his future offspring to possess telekinetic powers ...one woman on the planet in the present day bears the ability to fertilize Zatteen's seed ... [she] has already given birth to Katie (Paige Conner), a now eight year–old daughter ...



The movie opens with an old man on a barren otherworldly surface ... [On Earth] he's taken to the roof of a skyscraper where there are lots of people wearing identical outfits all with shaved heads carrying up large gray boxes. Later, there are white screens on the roof, behind which people's shadows move.



[Katie] seems to have power over birds ...




There are points in your description that don't match precisely (though the Visitor and his acolytes go to the roof of the skyscraper, it doesn't seem that they teleport there) and points that might match but I can't verify them doing so (most of your point 5, about the climax of the film)... but overall, I think the similarities are too much to be coincidence.
