We follow the Geneva convention guidelines because it's what separates us from the bad guys or perceived bad guys. If there were no guidelines war would be a free for all where anything and everything would be allowed, from chemical warfare to attacks on civilians. Hiroshima is the shining example of why the guidelines are there, after the devastation of dropping an atomic bomb on a non military site, and killing 10's of thousands of civilians, we recognized that such extreme warfare needed to be curtailed.

I disagree completely with the premise of the question. There is no reason why a national government should adhere to the Geneva Conventions when dealing with terrorists. The entire purpose of the Geneva Conventions is to make sure that soldiers properly identify themselves, try to avoid civilian casualties, and as recompense, they can expect positive treatment as prisoners of war. If terrorists or militias refuse to properly identify and intentionally use civilians as shields for their violent acts, they should be accordingly not receive the positive treatment accorded to prisoners of war by appealing to the Geneva Conventions.

Now, the extent to which a country makes a captured terrorist uncomfortable is completely up to the ethical standards and beliefs of that country. If that country wants to be known for upholding human rights, they may grant rights to terrorists that they do not deserve, but there is no reason to do this.

Why government would not negotiate with terrorists?

If you give terrorists what they want, you will prove that terrorism is a successful strategy and you will encourage others to also use terrorism to get what they want. The more that terrorism is rewarded, the more terrorism we will get. Much the same principle applies in dealing with kidnappers. You can pay them off to get them to release their victims, but that will just encourage them to keep kidnapping more people and collecting more ransoms indefinitely.
