I see very little difference between humans and Daleks (or indeed, the aliens from Independence Day) as it is. And Skyline to me looked like a recap of the bison slaughter, from the PoV of the Plains Bison (they even showed brains being sectioned out as delicacies, from what I thought they were doing.)

Well, there isn't. As I recall they were effectively meant as a Nazi metaphor which - despite some people's best attempts to deny - are human beings. Making them into obviously-inhuman pepperpots of death just makes it more tolerable because it keeps the viewers from having to confront their own shadow.
It's rather reasonable. I'm sure if you asked the 4th Doctor's question "Would you do it?" to them they'd give a similar answer.

Humans are only opposed to the concept of a Master Race or Species when they think they're not going to be it.
