Is there a way to argue that god does not want us to be happy?

Yes, but all arguments presuppose a God.

Why would you burden yourself with such a shaky philosophical starting point?

God is allmyghty
If God wants you to be sad he can do it
There is nothing you can do about it
You should still thank and praise God

John 12:25: “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.”

yes but there are even better ways to argue against it.

but it largely depends on what you mean by happy. God does not want us to be stupidly self-satisfied and perpetually enjoying ourselves
