I'd rather take someone like Cavani past his prime than Luuk "in his best years" De Jong or some other unproven guy. Cavani has lots of experience in top-level football and has been a proven goalscorer all of his career. Many criticised the club for signing Aguero "because of Messi", but I'm sure he'd help us a lot if it wasn't for his heart issues.
Cavani is a fit player and despite his age sticks to his fitness regime. That's the type of player you can get even at his age, unlike Higuain. Look at that striker generation: Be it Ibra, CR, Lewandowski, Suarez, Messi or Dzeko. All of these guys are past their prime, but still score a significant amount of goals for their clubs. They have experience, they always knew where the goal is at and will score above average until they decide to retire. And if Barca needs something desperately after getting rid of Suarez, Messi and Griezmann within a year it's a proven goalscorer. Ansu as only reliable one(with a small sample size and having injury-issues) is not enough.
