Corrected entry: V'Ger considers humanoids controlling the Enterprise as an infection, unnecessary like a virus. On the other hand Spock finds out that V'Ger has travelled the whole universe searching for answers. Why doesn't V'Ger know that biological units are building and commanding spaceships? V'Ger must have already met Breen, Hirogen, and thousand other biological astronauts.

Corrected entry: At the beginning of the film, the Space Station is tracking the fight between the Klingon ships and V'ger. At one point, the crew on the Space Station have footage of the Klingons on the bridge of one of the ships. This should not be possible as the Klingons did not contact the Space Station.
Correction: They could have hacked into the ship's view screen like they did in the series.
Correction: The Klingons are definitely sending a message of some sort. Either the Starfleet station intercepted the transmission meant for another Klingon ship, or the Klingons were sending a signal informing those in the general vicinity what's going on.

Correction: V'Ger does know this, but still considers humans (or carbon units) to be inferior, even to the technology that they created. As far as other species, we do not know what V'Ger did to them.

If a virus told you that humans were created by viruses and in fact are controlled by them, you would find it hard to believe, too.

Ilia as the drone of V'Ger is asking what for the humans are needed on the enterprise. V'Ger doesn't seem to know the concept of biological units in space ships or has never wondered before even it must've seen this scenario many thousand times in every quadrant of the galaxy. OK V'Ger is a "child", but even the dumbest child could connect the lines I guess.
