They effectively showed up with smallpox like the Europeans coming to the Americas. They weren't special back home - they just had something that nobody had ever seen or had an answer to.
She has no 'divine right' to the iron throne. And if she wants to burn shit down and take it by force - good on her. Baratheon wasn't a usurper - he won, fair and square. Her 'claim' was extinguished when Robert took the throne. Now she's just another rebel - no different than Jon. She has no cause to claim right over Jon - if you want the throne, go win it. And when you're done if you think dragons can tame the north - good luck...
And if she wants to rule a continent and not just its zombified remains, she'll get in line as well. Because people keep wanting to act like this isn't an infestation and they'll just wander along in a massive hoard. No - they'll spread. The walkers will spread across the north and trickle down - dragons aren't land forces that can root them out. They're air power that can do great things to a poorly moving monolith but as soon as the Walkers get a footing in Westeros (which they'll do if Jon and the northmen don't hold them down), it's game over for Dany.
She can't allow the walkers to get to population centers. They'll take root and spread and there's nothing she'll be able to do about it via dragonfire.

As far as Dany is concerned the Whitewalkers are just another threat to "her" kingdom, regardless of how she finds out about it or who notified her of it. Whatever realities or histories exist don't really matter in the context of what she believes to be her right to the throne because ultimately she has the superior force to Jon and all the other houses.
She believes herself with the Dragons to be invincible. As far as she is concerned if Jon doesn't bend the knee then he doesn't get her help. He already said that likely means the North falls to the Whitewalkers so she probably figures once that happens she will just destroy the Whitewalkers. In that sense, from her perspective, either way she gets the North.
