It signifies the separation of the Church and the state and Napoleon's boldness of power. Throughout the centuries nations and kingdoms listened and take in consideration the needs and says of the Church. But during Napoleon's coronation it becomes clearer that the world is starting to change and tend to separate two powerful institutions in order for each one to work properly and rationally.
