If Homeworld thought that humans were important, Peridot would probably have mentioned it by now. Did you see how Jasper treated Steven as insignificant before she realized he was the successor of the rose quartz gem, assuming that Rose had shape-shifted into him? Besides, if humans did have souls, then why did the Crystal Gems state that during the Homeworld war, a lot of Gems were destroyed, and a lot of humans were killed, too? How would Homeworld even incorporate a thing such as a consciousness, which is basically what you say is a human soul, into a forced fusion? Gem technology might be advanced, but not that advanced. Humans are pretty weak compared to Gems. The residents of Beach City could have squared off with Garnet if they had these souls.
"Horror Club" didn't disprove anything, really. The episode just proved that some Gems are capable of possessing objects. There's also the question of Gems viewing themselves superior to the weaklings that humanity is comprised of, which is seen from Pearl aka the Salt Empress in "We Need to Talk" while Greg was starting up his relationship with Rose.
Im not saying the the souls would have made the humans stronger. I speculate that the souls can choose wether to be reborn as a entirely new human being (provied that there are any humans available) or cross over into the great beyond.
Human souls in Su would probably physically look like a fist sized marble with shapes inside vaguely resembling a Human infant in fetal position. If the homeworld gems saw these, they would either collect them as keepsakes or outright "kill" the soul by shattering it in the same way they shatter gems. but like i said a human soul would be far more powerful than the human who posesses it and can persist even after death. i do not mention any hints of it giving them superpowers.
And i stated earlier, If the homeworld discovered the existence of human souls they would instead justify their hate toward humanity by stating that they hate the human body not the human soul.
And i said earlier that the homeworld would notice the souls wandering around but they would be completely UNAWARE of their true nature
