I still can't see how that has anything to do with "are humans the enemy of the Imperium"? The first thing that I thought about when I read the title was: Yes, there are pirates, heretics and traitors. Those humans are the enemies of the Imperium.

This is the Imperium of Man, it consists of humans! And of course, humans have flaws (like pretty much every other rave in the galaxy, no one is perfect). That is the whole point of Warhammer 40,000! That the Imperium has to fight not only the enemy without or beyond, but also the enemy within.

Yes, there will always will be Genestealer cults in the Imperium. Yes there will always will be rebels (regarding if they serve Chaos or not), Chaos Cults, Traitor Governors, Renegade Space Marines, traitor Guardsmen and more.

That adds up a lot to the universe of the W40k and makes it more real. Every human can't be pure and have limitless loyalty towards the Imperium. They are only humans. Don't treat humans as if they should be something more than they already are.

Also, if all of the Adepta that you have mentioned previously did actually fail in their role, the Imperium would no longer exist. They do their job, again they can't always succeed, but most of the time they do hold the faithful in line and they do protect the Imperium from the enemies.
