My guess is that Jonas was introduced at the same time as Daniel left so that the remaining SG-1 members can interact with him. Since Jonas was overseeing the production of the Naquadria bomb which claimed Daniel's life, it sets the scene for confrontations between Jonas and Jack, Sam and Teal'c. I think it's going to be used as an effective plot device.

Conflict is the key to good stories

I guess Jonas was introduced at the same time as Daniel to bring in conflict to the story. I've read that Jack doesn't want to have Jonas on SG-1 in the next season. He was also less than displeased with Jonas in Meridian. It would be rather boring though if Daniel died in meridian, then a few episodes later this Jonas dude turns up through an unreated incident and everyone is "Hallejujah! He can replace Daniel as he is cracking!" Just think about it. Some interesting stories and dilemmas could come out of the fact that Jonas cowered in a corner as Daniel gave his life for the greater good.

However, one shouldn't blame Jonas as (putting aside that Michael Shanks was leaving and Daniel was going to be written out) Daniel could have returned as Selmak could have cured him with the Goa'uld healing device, but Daniel choose to move on.

Perhaps many hate Jonas as they are more involved in the story and are actually the only ones catching on. Perhaps the writers wanted you to dislike Jonas in the beginning and everyone who says they like him are just being goody two shoes, not willing to step on peoples toes.

Indiana and Kiya better be close to the truth, that would be a very good way for the writers to go. It is better that Jonas knew Daniel, I agree completely.

Oh, well, hindsight is 20/20 and all. Now we can start counting down the days until Season 6 starts.
