I have always seen this scene as Smith being angry because he is jealous of Neo and wants what he has. Smith wants to feel a sense of purpose; he wants to be like Neo, and since he can't, he needs to destroy it all: the Matrix, the machine world, Zion, and then himself. So, in the end, there is nothing, no need for purpose.
