I kind of agree with you, but hypomania is more than just feeling good or euphoric. It represents a medical problem.
The problem is that hypomania can result in lapses in judgement, irritation, etc. It is a problem in that it represents a distinct change from the person's usual functioning.
Also, left without treatment, some patients who are hypomanic may become manic later on, thus developing psychotic symptoms, etc.
