Analytical Intuition.
Maximum Likelihood is finding the Mountain Peak. Which parameter value makes the observed data most likely? We view the likelihood as a surface and find the highest point.
CAUTION
Institutional Warning.
Log-Likelihood is used because it turns products into sums, making the calculus of finding the peak much simpler.

Is MLE always unbiased?
No, it can be biased for small samples (like variance estimation).
