Disagree. If we allow humans to be deterministic then a "human as we know them" is driven solely by the physical laws of our universe; there is no sense in talking about our emotional motivations until we have decided that we have free will.
I think your argument does assume we have free will.
I think your argument assumes "emotional motivations" cannot be reduced to (explained by) the "physical laws of our universe".
