...if Deckard is human why do they want him?
Makes little sense this way.

"In Philip K Dick's story Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Rick is not a replicant - he passes the Voigt-Kampff test and has a wife. The film version made some changes."

Above quote from the linked article. So....this means that any suggestion of Deckard being a replicant comes from Ridley Scott, not the author of the novel.

That said, Scott did have some face time with the author before he died.

  ...in interviews I've read, Ridley Scott said Deckerd was a replicant and Harrison Ford disagreed saying he was human.
  
  That keeps the controversy alive.
  
  But I'm assuming Scott knows and Ford is talking about his acting.
Do replicants show their age?... - musetap 06:05:44 02/05/18 (1)
'Cause Deckard sure as hell does.

Ever seen an "old" replicant?

And he's an "old" model.

  ...from the article I linked:
  
  "Evidence that new model replicants can age comes from Hiam Abbass's Freysa, the leader of the replicant resistance. A 30-year-old photo of her with Rachael's baby shows that Freysa has visibly aged. Replicant Sapper Morton (Dave Bautista) also wear glasses, indicating a deterioration likely to have come with age (there'd be no reason to add a sight defect to a replicant).
  
  Deckard is also able to be beaten up by Luv, but Luv is a newer model and younger - if replicants age and deteriorate, this isn't a indication that he's definitely human.
  
  Of course, this does not mean Deckard is a replicant. It just means he could be."
