A special people was selected by God to represent HIm here on earth. They were also selected to be the people that would produce the Messiah. He was predicted in the Bible to be born into the linage go David so it was important to prove it by giving an account of His ancestors.
I don't know if you are speaking about Replacement theology or not but I don't believe in it. God never goes back on His covenantial promises so the Jews are still the chosen people.
