That regulator can have a load up to 5 amps. What the "Minimum Load Current" is telling you is that you must draw at least 5-10mA for the output voltage to be what you expect (i.e. device is regulating the output voltage correctly). This is why R1 in datasheet diagram is ~100 ohms - it forces the load current to be >10mA always.
The "MAX" value is a little confusing. It means that this is the Minimum Load Current value that will maintain regulation for the worst-case tolerance production device (such a device would require the MAX current rather than TYP).
