Because once the cleaner sees how nice it is outside, they think cleaning will cause everyone else to see how beautiful it is. It motivates the cleaners to actually clean the camera and not just drop to their knees in despair without cleaning, so that everyone inside will continue to see that they cannot survive outside and that they must remain compliant inside of the silo.

I think it became clear when you see the footage of the outside, it shows the same birds flying in a "V" formation with 2 stragglers behind. This is the same footage in a loop, which makes much more sense now.

But that is the antithesis of why they are in the silo to begin with. They are told it’s dangerous outside and must remain in the silo for everyone else’s safety. The show makes it very clear and the people understand going out to clean in a death sentence. Surely there is a better reason to pump a fake image inside the helmet than making sure the camera lens gets cleaned

This. One of the reasons Nichols didn't clean is because she already had some sort of idea of what to expect. She wasn't awed by seeing the sunny skies and birds.
