So Paul was making a point: if dead do not resurrect at all (like Jesus Christ was resurrected) then why some among you(they) do baptism for the dead? If dead do not resurrected like Jesus Christ did then what is the point to do baptism FOR them?
He wasn't talking about THEM, he was talking about being baptised for Him, Christ:

Act_8:16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were
baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
1Co 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
1Co 15:2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
1Co 15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that
Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
1Co 15:4 And that
he was buried,
and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
1Co 15:5 And that
he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
1Co 15:6 After that,
he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
1Co 15:7 After that,
he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
1Co 15:8 And last of all
he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.
1Co 15:9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
1Co 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
1Co 15:11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
1Co 15:12 Now if
Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
1Co 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is
Christ not risen:
1Co 15:14 And if
Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
1Co 15:15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up
Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
1Co 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not
Christ raised:
1Co 15:17 And if
Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1Co 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in
Christ are perished.
1Co 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in
Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
1Co 15:20 But now is
Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
1Co 15:21 For since by man came death,
by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in
Christ shall all be made alive.
1Co 15:23 But every man in his own order:
Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are
Christ's at his coming.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when
he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
1Co 15:25 For
he must reign, till
he hath put all enemies under his feet.
1Co 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
1Co 15:27 For
he hath put all things under
his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall
the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
1Co 15:29 Else what shall they do which are baptized for
A DEAD MESSIAH, if the dead
WHO WERE BAPTISED IN HIS NAME rise not at all? why are they then baptized for
A DEAD MESSIAH?
1Co 15:30 And why stand we in jeopardy every hour? (
WHY RISK OUR LIVES IF NO ONE RESURRECTS?)
1Co 15:31 I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. (
not die daily but is in danger of dying daily)
