Morphology
The phrase combines the superlative 'best' with the prepositional phrase 'of all' to indicate the most desirable or important item among a group, so the intended meaning is directly and compositionally derivable from the constituent words. This is a common superlative + of-phrase pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the parts will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
Best of all comes from the simple image of picking the best one out of all the things, like choosing the nicest cake from a table. So, it means the thing that is 'most important' or 'most pleasing'.
