I think you don't know what you're talking about.
I know that in the real world, a total poker-face is next to impossible but that's the goal. No goal - no improvement.
If you think that showing emotion is somehow going to make your techniques better...well, enjoy Saturday Afternoon Kung-fu Theatre on TV ("Whaaaaah")

If you want ultimate facial expressions that instill fear check out Sonny Chiba. My wife, whose Japanese, is often irritated at how often I imitate him. My kids love it. Sometimes I do everyday tasks (opening a jar of peanut butter, opening a door, lifting a garbage bag) in Sonny Chiba mode. Sonny China Streetfighter Preview

Throw a punch with all you've got .... and keep a calm face.
That is NOT 100% of effort and focus.
How many points do the judges deduct for that?

I know someone who took Soldier of the Month because of his war face.

We might not do a full powered, lung filled kiai, but when we hit or get hit, we tend to grunt and exhale, and even make a face. I just don't force anything more than I would make with my loudest kiai.

Surely it's whatever works for you best, and scares the [censored] out of the other people that want to fight you.
fight with intent and train with intent.
