I would imagine a lot of it has to do with it's programming. Don't forget - at the end of the day it is a machine, and therefore governed by it's program.

It also comes from the future - so Skynet has a different observable world than the "present day" - which may factor in with the programming.

I would make an assumption that his runtime protocols would range something like this:

• Blend in as human
• Anyone who discovers you are not human, must be terminated
• Terminate primary target(s)

Of course this is wild speculation and conjecture.

Terminators are infiltration units - so the less attention they draw to themselves the better.
