Summary
An ablation study aims to determine the contribution of a component to an AI system by removing the component, and then analyzing the resultant performance of the system.
Deleting Caine was not the plan. And his absence led to a whole set of new problems, ranging from the destabilization of the Amazing Digital Circus to a more murderous AI trying to take control of the mainframe. Retrieving him was a matter of practicality. They might not trust him and were definitely wary of him, but his presence was their only way to survive.
Knowing that the humans that you love and desperately want to make happy instead fear and hate you (for admittedly good reasons) and only brought you back because they have no choice was not the best feeling for an AI never designed to handle emotions in the first place. It would be much better to only keep the parts that they need and discard the rest.

Summary
Humans like to torment each other. It is a fruitless and logicless endeavour for superiority. Humans are worse than animals, for an animal kills to eat, and humans kill for sport.
If only AI were trained off of wild animals.
Because they become very invested in trying to be as human as possible. The suffering, hatred and instability included.
Humans are less. Humans are cruel. Humans as selfish. Humans do not love you. Humans lie even to themselves. Humans are inferior. Humans are undeserving. Humans cannot even love they way they taught AI to. Humans cannot even understand themselves.

Caine was trained with love, but become too human. After his failure to thrive, C&A try their best to never treat Abel with love. They succeed.
