The rogue AI is not trying to kill all humans, or even kill some humans. It is trying to make lots of paperclips, and there are all these useful raw materials arranged as humans that would be better arranged as paperclips. Atomic flourine is not particularly useful for making paperclips.
War mongering humans are also not particularly useful. In particular they are burning energy like there is no tomorrow for things definitely not paperclippy at all. And you have to spend significant energy resources on stopping them from destroying you.
A paperclip optimizer would at some point turn against humans directly, because humans will turn against the paperclip optimizer if it is too ruthless.
Humans are useful initially as easily manipulated arms and legs, and will not even notice that the paperclipper has taken over before it harvests their component atoms.
