He wasn't actually immortal, there was no death until He sinned, after he sinned death came into the creation and he would need the Tree of Life to be immortal. God took them from the Garden to insure that would not happen and that His promise of death because of disobedience was kept. God proved He was good to His word.

there's a snag with the tale, prior to eating the fruit knowledge of sin was unknowable
it was a set up, IOWs, and not a very nice (or clever) one
Probably best to announce a (corrective) revelation and schism than to stick with that cluster fuck.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
