I hope this isn't a dumb question, but why do people refer to Jesus as "son of David", why not "son of Joseph" or "son of God"?

Jesus is called the Son of God not the the son of Joseph. He is the root of David. 

Rev. 5:5And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

The Abrahamic promise was passed down through Isaac, Jacob, Judah, and finally to King David. The "sure mercies of David" referred to the assurance to David that the promised Messiah would come from his loins. The lineage in Matthew shows that the paternal line of Joseph, the legal father of Jesus, came through Solomon, the most famous of the sons of David. The lineage of Mary in Luke shows that the maternal line of Jesus came through Nathan, another son of David. Thus we see the double proof that Jesus, the Messiah was the fulfillment of the "sure mercies of David" (Isa. 55:3) and that is why he is called the Son of David–though his actual Father was God Almighty.
