Is God prideful?

Yes. 
It is one of His names in Islam. 
"Al Mutakabbir" [59:23]
- root word: K-B-R
Pride (= "kibr")
also is root for great ("kabir") or greater ("Akbar")

And why shouldn't He be?

Definition of Pride:  a feeling of deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of one's close associates, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired:

The reason humans should not be proud is because all our achievements are due to Him! so all praise should be to Him. 

The servant is humble
The King is proud
