I look at it like this... yeah the admirals are there, and yeah they're direct subordinates of the Nobles, but they're still a Marine institution. They have other obligations that could take them away from Mariejois, whereas God's Knights are committed to the Nobles and no one else.
Luffy wants to be the Pirate King, while his goal may involve going against the CDs, overthrowing the CDs is not objective. His primary foes are pirates and Marines. Even saying that, there is clearly something happening with the admirals where Green Bull seems to be the only outright evil one left.
The revolutionaries goal is to overthrow the CDs. That means they need adversaries in the CD ranks to fight. Enter the God’s Knights. I’m not including the 5 Elders and Im here because those seem to be the end of story bosses which would go to the Straw Hats.
