I did not get the point of this story? Making fun of human stupidity while sounding humanly stupid isn't exactly creepy.

Intentional or not, this galatic federation comes off exactly the same way europeans acted towards the rest of the world back in the early nineteenth century claiming that all humans are equal yet deeming some humans as none humans on arbirary bases.

Also, weird creatures on earth make a lot of sense whenever you look at them from a biophysical perspective, so a tail-less bipedal shouldn't be too weird when it could have other balancing organs.

So, basically, I don't see the creepy or frightening in this. I do have to say that other beings telling humans directly to their face with confidence how insignificant our species is (while being able to back it up) is somewhat scary, or at least thought provoking.

Also, the lack of mention of actual physical interaction is reduing the horror factor in this. I mean the Book of Job wouldn't be so dramatic if the author would simply tell us "There was a pious man who was tormented with gods permission to test his faith".
