Why would Gimli think that Galadriel is beautiful?
The dwarves were intelligently designed by some god or other. That a dwarf can find an elf more beautiful than dwarves could be an unfortunate design flaw.
(Elves were also intelligently designed, but their creator was perhaps more intelligent.)
Edit: The creator-god of dwarves probably imbued them with some of his own sense of beauty.
