By “smoothing out” I mean flattening all mountains and filling all trenches so that the entire earth has exactly the same radius everwhere. Water naturally spreads out equally on such a surface, so how high would the water level be?

I’m too high right now, but you’d just figure out the volume of solids in the earth and the size of sphere that would make, then figure out the volume of water, and figure out how deep that volume would cover a sphere of that diameter. I’m sure an ai could give you a pretty convincing answer. The calculation is easy, it’s the accuracy of your inputs you have to worry about.
