Lol we had these discussions with Gear 4 and Gear 5. Not every single move in a new form is automatically stronger than every other move in a lower form.
It's funny how some people are trying to justify Gear 5 usage from a powerscaling perspective. Oda just wants to draw Gear 5 and be goofy. Not much to it.
Gear 4 to destroy ships, Gear 5 for a beast... He really doesn't care about anything... It would make more sense for him to use Gear 4 here because he literally spent 2 years training against beasts.

Well said, to add, Oda himself was tired of completely serious fights, and that's why he created Gear 5. For him, having Gear 5 laughing amidst the flames, relaxed, is much better than a serious Luffy in any of his other forms.
