Pirates do what they want because a pirate is free. If you sail the seven seas you are a pirate

They literally just attacked one of the biggest known pirates in the world and stole her biggest treasure

Pirates in the One Piece universe seem to be more of an ideological dispute between Pirates' desire for Freedom and the World Governments desire for Order.
Luffy is a character that wants to live outside the restrictions any man or system can place on him, often even directly clashing with the ideals of the government, thus leaning him towards the side of pirates.

The only treasures he wants are new friends and the One Piss.

He flies a pirate flag while sailing which makes him a criminal according to the World Government and their military, it's a simple concept so don't try to overthink it

Piracy, historically, isn't as cut-and-dry as you think. Ever heard of privateers? They were given a letter of marque by their government and therefore had permission to commit piracy against boats from certain nations.

I read Baka and it completely turned me off from reading the rest of your post. I recommend not using it anymore.

Talk whatever shit but there was a lot more dedication when One Piece looked like that.

I am a pirate?

Ahem, they pirated it and didn't steal it since they got a identical copy of it and not the actual poneglyph.

A pirate means having the freedom to do anything, that's partially why they're at sea where it's completely lawless.

I don`t think you understand what pirates are.
