However, we go out of our way to protect animals that can feel pain and experience emotions because it's what we've decided through our intelligence and higher reasoning is the moral thing to do. We care about and protect some animals, yeah. However, we also industrially butcher hundreds of thousands of other animals every day to satisfy our goals. Stats show that the more intelligent and educated the human, the more likely he is to behave morally as our greatest moral philosophers define it. Why would super intelligent machines buck this trend? There's pretty large jump from "more intelligent => more moral" to "behave according to human morality and satisfy human goals".
