If you made a mistake on your homework would you throw the whole worksheet out, or would you fix the problems you got wrong?
If I were looking for complete perfection, absolutely!
Which is what you seem to think God was looking for, so again why didn't he throw the whole thing out and start again?
Hint: This question was asked and answered in the bible already, and the answer has nothing to do with perfection.
Again you have a corrupt view of God/creation.
God created a space to introduce a species of sentient beings, and allowed them to grow and develop in their own way at their own speed. That is what the whole atonement thing is about. Because otherwise one we develop spiritually to where God wants us to be we will have done the very sin that would prevent us from being welcomed into His family.
As it is we have both the freedom and opportunity to become who he is asking us to be. What greater perfection/design can their be to both allow those looking to be with God the freedom to sin and develop spiritually and yet have sin be the disqualification of everyone else?
