You are guilty of seeing and judging as outside viewer only (judging based on the all seeing way you get the story told to you instead of said characters perspective only). There is no reason Sansa or any northerner or westerosi with some sense should be welcoming to a Targeryan conqueror who comes with not one but 2 massive foreign "barbarian" armies. She has reason to wary about her until she gets to know her.
So far what they know is she basically comes and takes over, is the daughter of the mad king who burnt ppl for fun, including Sansa's uncle. And oh Dany so far been burning noble household leaders if they dont bend the knee. Same thing with the war on white walkers, she like most northerners have no idea if it's real, its myth to most despite believing Jon, so her main goal remains keeping the north ruled by Jon and not by Kings landing or other invaders.
The current Sansa is anything but stupid, overconfident, or immature right now, she is interested in being safe and keeping her people safe, that requires careful planning and healthy dose of paranoia. That's why when Jon was losing the battle vs Ramsay, the battle was won because Sansa had the savvy to message little finger to come to their aid, someone she detested but knew she should use to get the desired result. She doesnt want to be governed by emotion, and she doesnt want Jon to be when it comes to Dany, she openly questions him on it to make the point clear that it shouldnt muddle his decision making.
And it's not that she doesnt like Dany herself, but it's basically been her job to keep the northern lord's on Jon's side, and she is telling him the optics of him being Danys butt boy instead of the king is making him lose the support of the north. That's what keeps it all going and giving them a fighting chance against next invader/ruler, the north being unified as one.
And she asks him what his plans are because she is already indirectly thinking what will happen after the fight vs WWs, her main threat is Cersei which she clarifies to Tyrion, but not only that now comes another one who calls herself queen and is a the daughter of the most brutal and craziest dictator Westeros ever had, she definitely has more then enough reasons to be wary and not too trusting until its earned. Varys and lord Onion (lol) has already explained that Dany needs to prove her intentions to the northerners before she can rule them, so it's not only Sansa who is being "stupid" for not automatically embracing Danys mini conquest.

You seem to be forgetting that Sansa (or any leader) is completely dependent on the loyalty of smaller houses many of whom likely fear the Targs much more than White Walkers. We saw the effect of this when her older brother executed that Karstark lord
and as i mentioned before, even we the viewers with this perspective the participants dont have we still don't know the actual purpose or intentions of the White Walkers but we do know Daenarys intentions.
