Mary was the immaculate conception (born without sin), Jesus was the virgin birth. Joseph was just some smuck, I guess. I can also list the original origin story for dozens of super heros.
I can see the family resemblance with David, another historical figure with limited archeological evidence for their existence. Doesn’t mean they didn’t exist, just that the past is poorly preserved.

Ah! But Joseph was an heir to David! He wasn’t just some schmuck! He had an incredibly necessary role of explaining how Jesus could be David’s heir.
Too bad he wasn’t Jesus’s daddy.
