Is God Altruistic? Is God Happy?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

No, I'm using the definition you provided.  If you don't understand what  'disinterested' and 'selfless' mean, I'm afraid I can't help you. 

Read the scriptures you quoted.  God will provide all of these things if ask, if you search, if you knock.  That's not altruism, that's quid pro quo.

If you are using my defination as you claim then where did "disinterested and selfless' come from?

From here. I bolded the relevant portion for you.

After reading the rest of your post let's define altruism as emotion is not a key factor to altruism's execution. 

al·tru·ism
/ˈaltro͞oˌizəm/
noun

1. the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.
   "some may choose to work with vulnerable elderly people out of altruism"
   synonyms:
   unselfishness, selflessness, self-sacrifice, self-denial; 
   

Given this definition without falling back to emotion why can't god be altruistic?

In future, you might consider reading the definitions you post, particularly since you have a habit of making them a central point of your arguments.
