The show's done a pretty good job of establishing that the citizens of Beach City are worth protecting. Peedee standing between Frybo and his father, the Pizza family helping the gems take down that Puffer Fish, even Lars stepped up and risked his life to help Steven save their friends from that killer moss. Fact is when the ocean vanished, their local economy and individual businesses were the most immediate concern.

I think the reason for humanity's indifference and obliviousness is the fact that the Crystal Gems simply don't communicate with them often. People see them roll up, fight monsters, and occasionally damage property during the battles, then leave without saying anything. It's easy to understand everyone's ignorance about them considering GAP don't seem to care how they're perceived, as they do what they do for selfless reasons.
