When copying requirements in Codebeamer (for example via Copy To or Smart Copy), all comments are automatically copied to the new requirement.

The improvement is like can we have any option to exclude comments while copying requirements.

I had the same issue. In my opinion - there shall be an option, asking the user if he wants to copy also the comments.
My ticket - created over a year ago - had been archived - https://community.ptc.com/t5/Codebeamer-Ideas/Copy-an-item-to-anther-project-selection-for-copy-also-comments/idi-p/979089
Unfortionally the item got less votes.

Your best workaround would be to leverage the round trip excel export/import.

If you do that for the trackers you want to copy and then delete the ID column and the other fields like created or modified. You can then reimport into the destination tracker and Codebeamer will treat the import as new items since the id column is gone.
