Or it could simply be that he's stubbornly skeptical and doesn't want to believe in something without proof. That's like...his thing. Innocent until proven guilty; the relics are "artifacts of incredible historical significance" until proven supernatural.
For the record, Indy's motivations in Kingdom are perfectly clear. He's trying to save his old friend Oxley and help a desperate kid find his mother, who apparently knows Indy. Then when the pieces fall together and he witnesses the power of the skull firsthand, he knows that he not only must keep his friends and family safe, but must also return the skull to Akator first in order to prevent the Soviets from gaining "control over its power."
I don't understand what's confusing about his motivations here.
What's confusing in Destiny, at least to me, is why he needs the dial (and Helena) to prove his innocence. I just don't see how bringing the Antikythera back for the New York authorities to see will clear everything up and point to the real culprits. And I also feel like Helena manipulating him and absconding with a priceless artifact to sell on the black market should have been motivation enough for him.
