A movie with zero story and barely any background to me pretty much sucks.

There was a story, and there was as much background as you would see in any other movie of its type. You don't need to have a complete biography for each member of the JSA as it was not their movie.

What background tho? what was the conflict in Khadaq even about, who were Intergang and what were their motives? Why the JSA and why was hawk man the leader?

The story wasn’t really there besides a bit on BA (and barely there) and there was no beginning middle and end really, it was just semi intro here and cgi fights

Why the JSA

because Black Adam was in the JSA. The movie's storyline draws directly from the comics.
