Because 1707 was the date of the Act of Union between England and Scotland - a key moment of fusion between Anglo-Saxon and Celt that led to greatness and glory.

Why do people in England think that there is such a thing since 1707 as the Queen or King of England?

Are you referring to the Act of Union 1707 between England and Scotland, forming Great Britain? If so, the monarchs since then have been the King/Queen of England, just as they have been the King/Queen of Scotland - England and Scotland did not cease to exist when the statute came into effect. This is the equivalent of our current Queen, Elizabeth II, being the Queen of Great Britain and of, among others, Australia and Canada. Another example would be to consider the Queen as the Queen of Devon and of Nottinghamshire, because both Devon and Nottinghamshire are in Great Britain (it's just that we don't tend to refer to the monarchy on that scale).
