Since the old testament at least
That version is far less interesting than the theme of elites vs. lower class that played out in the Saiyan arc.
I do like that Goku was sent to earth because the Saiyajin considered him a nobody
I thought he was sent to earth to conquer the planet?

Yes but he was sent to Earth specifically due to his low-class status. Earth, even in the new version of the Bardock story, is considered a planet of utter weaklings, an opinion Raditz agrees with.
