It never says that humans can't use magic, it says that they can't express themselves through magic, like monsters can. It means that humans mainly use magic for war and destruction, while monsters use it predominantly as a means of expression. A majority of the monsters you fight throughout the game aren't "fighting" you or trying to hurt you, as most of them don't even know you're human. They're mainly just expressing themselves in a way with their magic, unaware that it harms you. The monsters that do know try to kill you, however, know full well that you're human, and try to capture or harm you for Asgore's goals.
