Because a) she didn't think Dany would be a good queen (though I don't think she guessed exactly how dangerous she was going to be), and b) Jon on the Iron Throne is preferable to Dany. It would mean a king in the South who she could trust to be a good king and in all likelihood an independent North. It wasn't at all her ideal scenario --- see how distressed she was at the thought of Jon going South permanently with Dany ("I don't want him to go down there. The men in my family don't do well in the capital.").

But at that point, she was caught between a rock and a hard place. She could sit by and do nothing, and let things play out, which would likely result in another bad ruler on the Iron Throne, with the North under her boot and Jon gone from home. Or she could try to exploit the very real doubts Dany's supporters had about her and have them switch their support over to Jon, who is not only the rightful Targaryen heir but a good and trustworthy person in her eyes. She was going to lose Jon to the South either way, but in the latter scenario he would have allies to support his claim against Dany.
