Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the literal constituents: 'dawn' (start) combined with 'new' + 'day' (a fresh period) yields 'the beginning of a new period or opportunity.' This image is a straightforward, cross-linguistic metaphor and follows common compositional patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the words can reasonably infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Dawn of a new day comes from the simple image of the first light in the morning: dawn brings a new day after darkness. That's why the phrase means 'a fresh start' or 'the beginning of a new period or opportunity'.
