How could she become a queen, if she doesn't have even a drop of royal blood?

The point of that aspect of the storyline was that it was a marriage of love. Arthur could have had a princess but chose Guinevere because he loved her. YMMV on whether he was right to follow his heart or if he should have married Princess Elena or Princess Mithian for the advantages the marriage would bring the kingdom.

However, what I didn't like was that, after all the build-up about how Arthur's marriage to a servant would never be accepted, it magically stopped being a problem once Arthur decided to forge ahead with it. It would have been better if, at the end of Season Four, the nobility were shown to be far from pleased, and the response to her coronation was tepid, at best. Given that the only person who knew that Guinevere hasn't willingly betrayed Arthur with Lancelot was Morgana, that should also have been a major strike against her, so much so that I'd have expected it to destroy any hope of her being accepted as Queen.

Season Five could then have shown her working to earn acceptance and respect as Queen.
