This might seem a little facetious, but...
Imperium and Tau want selfish propagation of their own race.
True.
Eldar just kinda exist, and also want to create literal God of Death (which they apparently kinda are succeding in) to take venegance on Chaos by murdering everything that moves.
They want to create Ynnead so it can kill Slaanesh and they can rebirth their gods so that they can actually propagate their own race again. Same as the above, just a more roundabout method.
Chaos just want to let the Galaxy burn.
The more small c chaos there is in the galaxy the more Chaos is strengthened and the more daemons are born. Self-propagation.
Tyranids just want to eat everything.
So there can be more Tyranids, at the expense of everything else.
Dark Eldar want to torture and shit to prolong their lives.
You can see where I'm going with this.
Necrons want to kill everything alive.
If the Necrons kill all life and seal off the warp there won't be anything capable of killing them.
Orks also want the Galaxy to burn, although just in fighty way.
Orks literally reproduce via battle, the more of them fight and die the more Orks spawn.
Every faction is essentially fighting for survival, they just express it in different ways.
I mean, fuck, the motives of all of them aren't great either, but at least humanity fights for your own damn race goddamnit. For you.
I can respect that opinion, but at the same time the whole point of a fictional setting is that I'm not obligated to sympathize with the human faction because I myself have a human body.
