If his house was being broken into for real would he want the police to show up and then have the criminal say "I own the house" and then have the police just leave?
The police need to have order while they are doing their job. They don't need people getting frustrated with them.
Did this guy thank the police officer for protecting his property?

You should watch the interview CNN did with Gates. It actually does answer a lot of your questions here.
Besides, he showed ID. Both sides agree that he satisfied the burden of proof that he lived there. The real question is why the police didn't just leave at that point.
