Being able to smell the bad is helpful info in the evolution of the species though. If the water smells foul, don't drink it. That kind of thing. However, it does bring to mind animals sense of smell being so much more keen than humans. Watching where dogs smell, clearly they don't have a "gross" reaction as we do, at least not to the level our candied asses have reached. So the matrix has decided that the hoomans needed that but not the animals. Such on odd decision for a machine to make.
Dogs do find some smells repulsive; and some dogs are fascinated by that repulsion as some humans are fascinated by horror and gore.
Many animals have more nasal sensor than humans do; but even those with much less pay more attention to their sense of smell than almost any human can. The article mentions "realized I could smell a cigarette in the car in front of me" ... many humans have that sensitivity ant the biological level but have spent their lives learning to ignore, rather than interpret, those signals.
