The idea of free will doesn't negate love. And to let the myriad of his creations be punished so the few can have free will is hardly love.

You cannot love something or someone without free will. There is no way around that. Giving us that ability was obviously more important to God that a perfect world with robot-like humans.
Bullshit. It's true because you assert it? Nothing is obvious about your god.
