Why is Jacques Louis David's Napoleon Crossing the Alps significant to history?
Since this is how the French people saw Napoleon. Although we can say that the painting is inaccurate, most history books use this to portray and see how the French people actually saw Napoleon. :)
How did commoners see Napoleon?
Anglophone people see him as evil. Europeans see him as a great man who did many good things and many bad things. French people see him as a great hero who protected France, created the Civil Code, the Metric system,... etc... but who went a little too far in his ambition. Napoleon is one of the Great Commanders. He is arguably the finest general of the modern era. His ambition was huge. British propaganda did much to belittle him. But I think he was careless of his soldiers, outside of the Garde Imperiale at least. He can also be criticised for his choices, in some instances, of his subordinate commanders.
Why did Horatio Nelson hate napoleon?
For one thing, Nelson had a famous hatred for the French. Although Napoleon was technically Corsican, being the emperor of the French could hardly ingratiate him with Nelson. Nelson always claimed that his mother had taught him to hate the French and it was a lesson he carried with him his entire life. He claimed one Englishman to be the equivalent of five Frenchmen and refused to allow French emigres to serve aboard his ships, even though it was an accepted practice at the time. What's more, Bonaparte was widely hated in England and with good reason. Napoleon harbored resentment toward England for their meddling in Corsican affairs in the early stages of the revolution and then for their meddling and opposition to France. Napoleon famously called England a nation of shopkeepers. He carried this resentment into the Napoleonic wars and planned, on more than one occasion, to invade England. It's easy to see why the English hated Napoleon and vice versa, and given Nelson's upbringing and the fact that he spent his whole career fighting the French, and much of it fighting the French under Napoleon's command, it is especially easy to see why Nelson had so much contempt for Napoleon.

Why did the french support Neapolitans?
If this question intended to ask about why the French supported Napoleon, please see this question.However, the question as worded speaks about the Neapolitans, i.e. the people of Naples, and the French did support the Parthenopean Republic in 1799. The reason for this support was primarily to secure French military gains elsewhere in northern and central Italy. It had very little to do with the Neapolitans themselves.
