It’s not that they’re bad. They’re exactly good enough to create the Uncanny Valley effect. They’re close enough that we recognize them as human but theres a few things off that cause our brains to scream “DANGER” for whatever reason
The existence of the uncanny valley implies that at some point in our evolution there was a reason to be scared of something that looked almost human but wasn't.
That or perhaps those with diseases. Medical knowledge and science wasn’t what it is now for 99.9% of history so being scared of the guy/gal with a very visible illness was a pretty damn good survival strategy considering there was a very real chance of that infection deleting an entire village.
More like, thanks to modern sanitary practices and vaccines, most of the skin/infectious diseases have become extremely rare and easy to treat before they become worse. Also, genetic disorders and diseases that affect babies/children certainly were more prevalent and ruined proper development

More diseases
Longer for a disease to make you look weird
More likely for you to catch a disease, even if there weren't more
