Why did king george 3 refuse to consider the colonists declaration?

Hubris combined with lack of information. A great read on this is Barbara Tuchman's The March of Folly: From Troy to Vietnam (1984).

Why did British leaders might have felt the colonist were not justified in their actions?

In the 1760s, Great Britain fought a long and expensive war with France to guarantee, among other things, the safety of its "subjects" in North America. The British Parliament felt that the colonists should help pay for that war. BTW, the arrogance and hubris shown in the debates in Parliament about the rebellion in America are eerily reminiscent of the debates in Congress about Vietnam and Iraq.
