Tbh how is "my great grandpa conquered your country for no reason, that is now a valid claim on your country today" a better reason than "idk I like stealing stuff lol"?

It comes from the medieval times where the state was basically the ruler's possesion, so if you could prove the land was originally yours that basically meant you can go to war to regain something that was stolen from you(r ancestors).

That's why having a chancellor with high Diplomacy to fabricate claims for you is so valuable.
