Morphology

naked + as + the + day + one + be + born

The simile composes transparently: it compares 'naked' to 'the day one was born' — the time when a person has no clothes — so the meaning 'completely naked' follows directly from the constituents. Though slightly idiomatic/old-fashioned in phrasing, the relation is literal and readily inferable by a B1 learner who knows the component words.

Etymology

Naked as the day one was born gives the image of a newborn baby who has no clothes at all. So, it means 'completely naked' now, just like at the moment of birth.
