Well the Major isn't human first of all, so all that supposed humanity is simply the way he was made to act, we call that affable evil or Sophisticated Villains, they rarely if ever qualify as CMs. Akuma isn't a CM either he has a sense of honor, it is more about pride though than true honor, the sense of "I win through might not cheap shots cause that is how awesome I am." and Alexander Anderson became a monster for the sole purpose of destroying Alucard, he likely would have turned on everyone else too once his humanity was gone but Alucard was put in his cross-hairs so once he turns Alucard is still the priory.

But not all villains start out as CMs so the overlap of different categories like Sophisticated Villain or Affably Evil may be a state they were at in the beginning and later they became CMs. Remember Complete Monster is a point of no return and as such and end result of a villain's character evolution so it is entirely possible for them to have had some, however minor, virtues or standards prior to that final stage. That is generally how overlap occurs.
