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.
So, a perfect being needed something....?

Not in the sense you're thinking, I'm speaking in the sense of definition.

If a perfect being has the attribute of a father then children are needed to express that attribute (one can't be a father without children), this has no bearing on perfection.
