You're missing the point, God, as Omniscient and All Powerful as He is, can be INFINITELY disappointed in specific members of His creation and they therefore merit ETERNAL and INFINITE punishment when they fail Him.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
