"But he desired rather to subdue to hiswill both Elves and Men, envying the gifts which Iluvatar promised to endow them; and he wished himself to have subjects and servants, and to be called Lord, and be a master over other wills."
That was his (Morgoth's) original purpose, to rule over others. that's all. he was jealous and mad at Iluvatar. so yeah, in a sense, some of what you said is right. but only later did he wish to 'supplant the Valar.
