It is not true that whatever a human can do, a machine can be taught to do. The human must have insight into HOW they do it in order to teach it, or otherwise come up with some new algorithm. There are a large class of things humans do that they don't understand the mechanics behind, and for which there also aren't algorithms.
I'm not talking empathy or philosophy. How about just folding laundry. Not just one type, not in a controlled environment, but folding any laundry anywhere.

Why does this mean a machine cannot be taught to do it?

It is not true that whatever a human can do, is the correct way to look at it. The fine motor skills and insight needed for many tasks will always be beyond that of a machine. A machine also has a great deal of trouble with adapting to things popping up that it has to deal with.
