In Queen's English, "bother" is an expression of annoyance. As an example, Winnie the pooh will often say "Oh bother" when he's faced with a difficult (for him) problem.
So, when Bilbo says "bother burgling", he's indicating that he's annoyed with the entire concept of it, and even more, that he's been saddled with the task.
