I agree with you entire post.

Are you saying that Matthew is written to the Jews, simply because the geneology goes to Abraham?

That is one aspect of Matthew.

Matthew also emphasizes Christ as 'Son of David'.

Also, the Kingdom of Heaven is only mentioned in Matthew, which is a literal, physical Kingdom, unlike the Kingdom of God, which is a spiritual one (Rom.14:17)
