My guess is that they'd remove the crossover episodes. How many are there? Cure Black and Cure White first appear in episode 21, and episode 22 focuses on them. Episode 36, which was released this weekend, has Cures from MaX Heart, GoGo, Fresh, Mahou Tsukai, and KiraKira. Episode 37, which is coming soon, is set to feature even more.

I'm thinking that if Happiness Charge is dubbed, they'll remove the introductions from past Cures at the beginning of each episode, except maybe the Smile and Doki Doki Cures. It kinda sucks that Glitter Force didn't start with Splash Star, because if they had, the dubs would be able to keep the crossover stuff. Why would dubbing the Splash Star girls allow the crossovers when Black and White were featured in the previous two seasons? And regarding the crossover episodes--are they filler or non-filler? Because if they're not, the dubbers would have to keep the episodes in, though the older Cures would confuse Western fans, especially if the Mahou and a la Mode seasons are dubbed.

The character intros would have to be removed anyways because they were used to celebrate Pretty Cure's 10th anniversary, back in 2014. I don't know if the Korean dub's keeping them, though, but removing them would make sense for Western audiences. You're right. I was just thinking that Futari wa has already been dubbed and that MaX Heart wouldn't make sense without it. But you are right that it would be even better had Glitter Force been a redub of Futari wa Pretty Cure and a dub of its sequel. The fact that the dubs are divided between companies means that I'm not sure if the franchise can ever be completely dubbed into English.

The best thing would be if someone had somehow made a sequel to MaX Heart in the style of the Pretty Cure dub, and then Glitter Force had started with Splash Star and continued onward, making crossovers between the two dubs.
