Loki takes human form because of his origins as Aesir, the supposed god of the realm of humans. He's in Bayonetta 2 after escaping from the Witch Hunts through time travel. But it's implied that both he and Loptr are reborn in different eras throughout history after the split of Aesir as long as their souls are still intact, almost as if to check the progress of the world using their power. Obviously, after Loptr's soul dies along with Balder, he can't be reincarnated.

At the end of the game, Loki says the world doesn't need him anymore since it's human free will which will determine how history goes, not the divine powers from the Eyes because he believes in 'their kind', implying he's aware he's not human. He then says he'll take a break, but then be reborn at some point to catch up on humanity to make sure everything's going well (as he is the good half). Given the hint at the end of the baby and one of his cards, he may have been reborn sooner than Bayonetta thought.
