I think that's a common misconception... that they were
aliens. They weren't. They were decedents of older 'mechas' (robots). At some point before humans became extinct, the robots had been created so advanced as to be able to reproduce themselves.
Humans eventually became extinct -- leaving the robots to "evolve".
As they became more sentient, they began to question their existence.
Finding David was important to them because he was "an original", as they called him in the film, and he actually knew humans... their creators/gods.
