Just why send bridge crew. Those crew are important and mean to stay on the ship. Unless the mission required someone on the top like first-mate, you should send your boarding team or land team on mission.

Most of the eps, I see a dangerous mission with 2-5 bridge crew member. Sometime it is include both captain and first mate.

Sometime, it is fighting sorties, a first mate said: I need volunteer who is trained in close combat. And multiple bridge crew go with him. The next scene is the crews start shoting handgun in some dangerous place, maybe they also teleport inside enermy ship (boarding action), and sometime is fighting kungfu.

Why not send a sergeant and handful of soldiers ? The ship is quite big but there are no spare personel to send ?

I feel like that also drove a lot of colonization for humanity. It doesn't make sense that so many people would want to leave Earth if it became paradise unless it wasn't as fulfilling and you could be in charge of more if you went off world.

wow hard disagree, it's right there in the opening statement of the show:

to seek out new life, and new civilizations. To boldly go where noone had gone before

that's just, exciting!
