Morphology
The meaning 'a regular activity performed every day' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'daily' (occurring every day) with 'task' (a piece of work or duty). This adjective+noun composition follows a common cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Daily task comes from two simple words: daily meaning 'every day' and task meaning a small job or chore. It paints the image of the same little job you do each morning or evening, so it now means 'a regular activity you do every day'.
