Mainly because, if the "leaked" information I'm finding is accurate, it's a hypocritical movie portraying humanity as nigh over-the-top dicks for the sake of giving a "respect nature" message to the audience.
I think our collective ego could use a little deflating once in a while.
Besides, humans are almost always the good guys. Why *not* switch it up a bit?

Oh quite certainly, too much ego leads to bad things. However, there's a difference between "ego deflation" and what Avatar provides. Ego deflation is watching the overconfident humans in Aliens or World War Z get their rumps handed to them due to the belief that "flashy flashy tech good" will let them triumph over the unarmed foes. Avatar has (if the sources are correct) a scorched-Earth humanity spending 5 years going near-lightspeed in a straight line to pillage a planet housing their first-and-only encountered alien species so as to take a superconducter out from underneath them, and then having their rumps handed to them because one hypocritical guy with a heart of gold decides "Hey, Genocide is bad, m'kay."

This does read like Battle for Terra.

Avatar by druanderson. Some things are very NSFW.

Indeed. It sounds JUST like it.
But I hope Avatar is more awesome.
If it makes you feel better, one of the leaked scripts (from a version planned many years ago, so take it with a grain of salt) has the entire planet actively against Humanity, sort of like the novel "Death World" but with eight foot blue aliens.

This moive looks stupid. It's Dances with Furries.
Hell here's how it will end
the Blue Furries with the EVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL human with there bows and arrows (as we all know those are far better than gunship and mechs) the hero becomes a furry for life or something and the Earth is doomed to die without the rocks. But it's ok as that ONE tribe of furries gets to still be at one with nature (since they're clearly better)

If you're referring to the above post, then yes, that's what he was going for.
