I want you + directional particle
Remember "here" has two meanings:
1. Place
I am here. I'm standing here.
2. Direction.
Come here. Move it here.
I want you here. = direction here
Likewise:
I want you there.
I want that table in the corner.
I want you off the roof!
I want you all out of here!

"I want you here" is perfectly correct: subject-verb-object-location.
