That perfection can't exist without imperfection. So to be clear.. Either God is not perfect or God came into existence at the same time as the universe. What you seem to be saying is that imperfection existed before the existence of the universe.
I already stated that the concept of imperfection already existed because God already knew the end from the beginning, hence why a sacrifice for sin was prepared before the foundation of the world.
Before creation, God was also a father, healer, savior etc. all these attributes were in God before creation. In order to be a Father, God needed children, In order to be a healer, sickness had to exist, in order to be a savior there needed to be something to save, and if God is perfect then imperfection also has to exist.
