How may I suggest to Apple to improve Siri grammar? For instance, rather than "What can I help you with?" shouldn't Siri ask "How may I help you?" In this manner Siri would be contributing to proper English grammar usage.

What did Siri say?
It seems to me that Siri is correct. "May I" is asking permission to help. By waking her up you have already established that you want her help, all that remains is figuring out what exactly you want - what she is able to do.

"What can I help you with?" would be considered acceptable usage by most. The notion that one shouldn't end a sentence with a preposition is one of the many silly rules that were pasted onto English by prescriptive grammarians in the 18th century (if I recall correctly) who decided that, if a grammar rule was true for Latin, it had to be applied to English. Obviously, a nonsensical notion as English is not a Romance language. The proscription against split infinitives is a similar bit of silliness.
