Lady Macbeth fears that her husband has too much humanity in the sense of "compassion characteristic of humane persons" ( Macbeth, edited by A. R. Braunmuller, 1997). The association between milk and some type of weakness can also be found elsewhere in Shakespeare. In King Lear, Act 1, scene 4,

Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now. To continue shopping, enter the characters as they are shown Change your definition of kindness from immediate relief and distraction and letting yourself off the hook to doing things you’ll be happy you did tomorrow,” Shahroo says. It is worth noting that both these devices, paronomasia and motif, are akin to each other: they act by layering meanings. In the first, the mechanism is verbal. Many disparate senses of human kindness work together to build a complex network of meaning. In the second, the mechanism is that of the image. Through strategic repetition, the image accretes a cluster of meanings and associations. The phrase the milk of human kindness brings both these devices together in a highly compressed way, in a remarkable example of Shakespeare's rhetorical dexterity. Complex idea for when you treat something immaterial — like happiness, fear, or evil — as a material thing." [Vocabulary.com] The Kindness Method is the key to breaking unwanted habits–for good!

Here, milky can be understood as "weak, timorous" ( Timon of Athens, edited by G. R. Hibbard, 1970).

So when Lady Macbeth says human kindness, one sense of the term is that Macbeth is too much of a human being, too firmly in the category of humanness, to just pursue his own interests at all costs ( catch the nearest way) the way a wild animal might.

Merriam-Webster also mentions that the word humankind has been used in the sense of all human beings or humanity in general since 1560, i.e., it was current when Macbeth was first performed around 1606. This adds to the pun. Macbeth's imbibing his mother's milk has made him a member of the human race, which has made him too categorically human, too humane, too kind, too much a member of humankind, to be the cold-blooded murderer Lady Macbeth would like him to be. kindness' principally means 'kinship', but also connotes 'category' ('kind' = classification, group)
