Because Robert was an usurper, and by divine right (which I think Stannis adheres greatly to) Jon's rightful place on the throne was stolen from him.


I am pretty positive that Stannis does not view Robert as a usurper. If he thought like that, then shouldn't the children of the forest be the rulers of Westeros. If conquest means nothing, then the Targs have no right to reign over Westeros either. The reason he is so fixated on getting Cersei's spawn off the Iron Throne is because they are ruling falsely. They are portrayed as Robert's offspring when we all know they are not.

If Stannis truly believed his brother was a usurper, he would be spending his time finding Dany instead of trying to take the Iron Throne for himself.

Well, Stannis speaks of this to Davos in the books when Davos throws it in his face. Stannis basically explained that situation was the hardest decision he had ever had to make. He barely chose his blood kin over the throne in that case, so he would definitely view the Targs as fairly legit. Though I couldn't see him kneeling to Jon or Dany.
