Because he isn’t that smart actually. He might be somewhat knowledgable taking him by his words and all versions of him are keen on collecting knowledge. That’s all we got.
But a thousand of him couldn’t figure out the Maulers machine.
He didn’t actually bother collecting any knowledge between his clones.
Heck he talked about curing cancer but somehow treated it as something that could not be done unless all knowledge was merged into one head. Not knowledge of “curing” cancer mind you, but about “finding someone who can” - because that’s something you cannot outsource appearently…
This was my first thought at the end of S2E1. This guy spent so much time explaining how he was seeking all this knowledge and working hard to make this possible through the multi-verse, the other versions of himself, the noble causes he was after, observing everything he could, etc. Then suddenly he’s finally got all this info in his head and he turns into a complete one note moron?
Literally his only takeaway is that he needs to get futile revenge against a single superhero - specifically the dimension version of him that isn’t even evil (and based on his reaction I would have to assume that almost all other universes have Mark as evil and siding with Omniman - I haven’t read the comments but that also makes almost no sense considering Mark’s default personality, all of them go completely evil every time and this dimension is the only exception?). Yet he shows no nuanced understanding of it at all lol. That is so stupid I don’t understand it.
Even though what Angstrom was doing is 100% morally ethical and wouldn’t have hurt anyone, his ego prevented him from taking the easy way. He has to be the one that solves cancer. Angstrom craves the credit. That’s why he’s a villain. His ego prevented so many people from getting help.

Yeah I think people just think he’s a genius, he’s a little above average at best
