Christians, would you have saved Jesus, if you had he chance?

Erm, okay.

A bit dramatic, don't you think? God was engineering a situation where there were distinct parts of himself, feeling different things and talking to each other? And confused by each other's actions?

For whose benefit, exactly?

I think this is a giant ad-hoc hypothesis, especially since the trinity is not biblical. The much more likely and simple explanation is that jesus wasn't originally meant to be god. In fact, we already know this is the case. His divinity was decided much later. The editing in the bible is poor throughout, giving rise to very little consistency. I don't see why it's reasonable to assume this isn't just another example of that.
