Protests are part of a Democracy. You can voice your own opposition to a democratic result. Respecting the result means you accept it happened it doesn't mean you have to shut up after that. As you said he is President, democracy has been respected. Now people are protesting, amongst other things, what Trump stands for.
As for the motivation I think it's more a cathartic experience where like-minded people meet up and vent. As well as an attempt to increase motivation and momentum for future, more practical, ways to oppose Trump's policies and presidency. They can't keep holding rallies. The Tea Party movement shows it can help.
