Why not?
An annulment states the marriage never existed.
If a child’s parents were never married, the child is illegitimate.
Or do you have some other definition of “illegitimate”?

lastchance is actually correct, the child is "legitimate" meaning that by law (both civil and canon) the child suffers nothing.
I used the term "bastard," which implies something very different. The parents weren't sacramentally married at the time of birth.
