Odysseus kills Antinous first because he was the suitor's leader, both morally and politically. Antinous was the richest, loudest, most obnoxious, and most ungrateful of the suitors. He abused Odysseus by throwing insults and then later a chair at him. Further, Antinous doesn't suspect a thing, and Odysseus must eventually kill them all anyways.

Antinous was wooing Odysseus' wife Penelope, and eating Odysseus' food, wine and livestock. Odysseus had also wished that Antinous would die before his wedding day, and Odysseus proved his own words. Further, Antinous had proved to be an ungracious man, abusing Odysseus whom he thought a beggar. Antinous was thus not worthy of mercy.
Of the suitors, Odysseus first kill Antinous with an arrow to the throat. He then kills Eurymachus with an arrow to his liver, before killing many other suitors.

Antinous is the first suitor Odysseus kills.
The other suitors do not think it right that Antinous has assaulted Odysseus (the beggar), and warn that it may be some god in disguise. After realizing that Odysseus has killed Antinous intentionally and intends to kill them all, they try to appease Odysseus by blaming all the trouble on Antinous.
