There's a fundamental flaw in that theory. I'm ok with cows or rabbits or rats objecting to testing, I just don't value their objection over the tests.

Pretty much.

They would do their experiments and we would hate it, but (if this superior race was benefiting from the tests) they wouldn't care.

If the experiments are of no benefit to the superior race, I would hope and expect them to stop (a standard I would also apply to animal testing)
