Often it's because fairies are barren. They're just Their One Thing. Humans are capable of growth. So abducting them is a way to introduce novelty into the mix.

There's a strong undercurrent in mythology that accepts fairies as distinct from demons to rule them as being the angels that stayed neutral when Lucifer fell.
So being unbaptized means the child is neutral-ish and thus not under the direct aegis of heaven.
