Luffy smiles in Gear 5 because it's the awakened form of the Sun God Nika fruit, representing ultimate freedom, joy, and liberation, allowing him to fight with cartoonish, unrestrained mirth, free from pain and despair, and fulfilling his role as Joy Boy to bring smiles, even as the immense power strains his body.
He's literally free from anything holding him back. Imagine the happiest moment of your life, that's him in gear 5. Nothing to worry about, anything he wants he can have, he's strong enough to protect his crew from any danger and he has everything he wants.
A lot of people have been bothered by Loofy's Gear Five transformation and how he's always laughing and it seems like he's not taking things serious but the reality is that smile represents something. That smile represents freedom.
Gear 5 is the most crucial attainment that has been given to Luffy while fighting against Kaido. This transformation shows the highest embodiment of Luffy's creative spirit in capturing the essence of happiness.
