Who was the Mission Basilica San Diego de Alcala built for?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'for'. Father Junipero Serra established the mission. It was built for the Franciscan friars in their effort to Christianize the California natives. So in a way, it was built not only for the safety of the conquistadors and settlers soon to come, but also for the "indigent natives". Check out the related link below:

Is Father Serra a Native American?

No. He was a priest that established the missions in what is now California. He brought to the area many of the crops that became staples, the European fruits and animals, but did not wish to have many settlers come there, so he didn't promote their export. His efforts to convert the natives often involved corporal punishment, whippings and beatings. He is alleged to have killed some of his 'children' as he attempted their conversion.
