I don't believe Professor Oak to be the smartest one. I've seen him as more of one of the most highly respected or highly regarded professors. Inventing the Pokedex is a huge accomplishment in the Pokemon world that has spread to every region that we know of. So that alone already makes him a very important figure. Then off of that he's known to keep and study a variety of Pokemon at his research lab so we know he's very knowledgeable in the field that he studies.
If you look at it from a consumer standpoint it could also be that the people behind Pokemon want a recognizable knowledgeable character in the franchise that people can associate with being a prominent Pokemon professor.
I don't think he was dumb as much as he was eccentric and a little too passionate about his work and besting Professor Oak.

Wasn't Elm the one who was fairly.... dumb?
