What other inanimate objects (that can’t kill us easily, like an industrial press or firearm) do we talk about “respect” for?
I think this is a special case of emotional transference.
I don’t personally see a reason to treat cadavers any differently than any other object in a lab. They’re not people. Do we need to be careful to show respect for our mobile phones? How about our coffee mugs?
