Shamelessly copying another anon's post because I love the Major. One of my favorite villains period.
The point about the Major wanting to be a cyborg to remain 'human' makes a lot more sense when you consider Alucard has just revealed what being a vampire is about when he farted out a few thousand people he had living inside of his soul. By eating those people they became a part of him and he took their power for himself, and that's something the Major understood because it was literally what he based his plan to kill Alucard on.
By having Alucard consume Schrodinger he knew Schrodinger would be inside Alucard, then cause Alucard to vanish because he'd not be able to control Shrodinger's powers.
The Major didn't want to become a vampire because it'd be diluting what makes him, him, and empowering himself taking from other people. Fittingly the Nazi did not want to pollute his blood with other people.
Theres literally the panel showing this symbolically as pic related; he's collapsed on the ground to show his weakness, but the blood is repelled from him to show he refuses to take other people's power like Alucard to grow stronger.
The fact that his cyborg body doesn't seem to be any sort of improvement over a human one also seems pretty telling: he's displays no kind of super-toughness and he retains the incredibly shit aim he had as a human by missing every shot he makes with his gun, even though as a machine he should have a machine's precision and could have made himself a literal tank.
The Major wanted to beat Alucard as himself. So he turns down vampirism in favor of a cyborg body that does nothing but extend his lifespan. That's why he still considers himself human. In his eyes it's human vs vampire; as long as he rejects being a vampire he is 'human' even if he's a machine.
