Is there any historical legitimacy to West Papua's claims for independence? Why was the territory never transferred to Papua New Guinea instead?

Why should it be?

The Papau island was split between the Netherlands, Germany and Britain in the 1890's and the Netherlands made their part part of the Dutch East Indies (modern day Indonesia) iirc. The area is fairly mixed between Papauans and Indonesians now I believe.

Only one nation has rightful claim over West Papua. As well as the east.

East New-Guinea is rightful German clay
