I think anthropomorphism is an invention to let us ignore mammalian non-verbal communication
so we don't feel terrible when we hunt and torture animals. 'Oh no, they're not crying or screaming, they don't feel pain like we do.'
I think it's also a tool to perpetuate the myth that we are somehow an order above Animalia. It's not so much about preventing a false recognition of human-like behaviour in animals as it is about preventing the recognition that we are animals doing as animals do.
