Celsius is the clearly more human scale. Zero is when water freezes which is very useful of you live where it is cold. Lakes freeze, snow does not melt and the ground gets icy so you have to be careful when you walk and drive. It is also useful when storing food. And 100 degrees is useful when cooking.
For other measueres you may have a point but Celsius is defined around very useful points. Water is very important to us humans.

I know how to tell when water is boiling or frozen, likewise, by the primary evidence of sense impressions. What were you saying about humans needing a number on some specific scale for that?
