Why was Cersei/Joffrey so adamant about killing all of Robert's bastards? If the truth had come out, they would be next....no?

Because her kids with Jaime wouldn't be Baratheons, which is the whole reason Joffrey was on the throne to begin with.

Ummm... because Joffrey is not Robert's child, so he is a bastard himself. If the bastards turn up, it weakens Joffrey's claim as a legitimate heir, as it calls into question his own parentage.

Yes because Robert had no living true born children. This is not the case with the Starks. The question of where legitimized bastards stand in the line of succession is still completely open to Martins will.
