Because they did not believe his miracles nor his words, and when he told them plainly that he was the Christ, the son of the Blessed, they crucified him.
They hated him because He pulled the crown from them. They thought Jesus was en earthly king.
The Jews of the day did not accept that Jesus was the King of the Jews or the Kingdom of God. They killed him for claiming he was the King as he was the Son of God and the Messiah. The verbal reason the Jews gave to the roman ruler was Jesus proclamation at being the king of the Jews but they killed him for far deeper reasons than that. Their hearts had been hardened and they would not accept Jesus as the Messiah and his truthful teaching and revealing the Pharisees and Sadducee were hypocrites AND most of all because HE OUTRIGHT TOLD THEM HE WAS GOD OR EQUAL TO GOD. Oh, how they hated him saying I AM and I and the Father are one.
Because it read 'King of the Jews'. The Pharisees (Jewish priests who had Jesus crucified) wanted it changed to "I say I am the king of the Jews" but Pilate would not.
He repeats the words I refuse to accept

To establish his credibility
Yes, definitely! It says so in God's word, the Bible. Only people who recognise the divinity of Jesus will accept that He is Lord of lords, and King of kings. Jesus is God.
He refuse to be the king.
