The look and the sound of the Daleks communicates very well that they don't care one wit about anything like our aesthetics nor do their ideas of practicality line up with our own. And yeah, they look like cold, mechanical things, but then one learns that, no, there are biological creatures in there, but that doesn't mitigate anything, it makes things worse. They aren't detached and emotionless machines, they are creatures who find it rational to live inside of tanks and feel only hate and rage for others beings.
