This is a problem with the English word "understand" -- it has more than one meaning.
He understand (as in "know") human emotions, so he could use it as a selling point to make Sayaka save a person she loves.
He doesn't understand (as in "have it in his thought process") human emotions, so he finds it silly for human to care for the loss of his/her loved ones.
When he says he doesn't understand human emotions, it's the second one, not the first one.
