Because all the other animals were killed off when they blotted out the sun, no sun equals no wind, fossil fuels were all used up before/in the war, and radiation interferes with machine communications and memory. Humans have the largest brain to body mass ratio so we would actually be the most efficient use of resources assuming physics works that way. The machines get a perverse pleasure from enslaving the creators who originally enslaved them. Entropy doesn't exist in Hollywood, which explains why some actors never seem to age.
Plus it makes a much better movie than machines won and there's no humans left the end.
