God = God above us
Son = God with us
Holy Spirit = God in us
Did not God tell Moses that he was I AM? Did not Jesus state that "before Abraham was born, I am"?
Jesus was God in human flesh, hence why he was called Emmanuel which means God with us.
Also does not the bible state that Jesus was the fullness of the Godhead bodily?
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. - Colossians 2:9
If Jesus is part of a trinity then that would make him part of the Godhead not the fullness of it.
What you're saying is definitely more logical, but it is considered heresy by the mainstream Christian churches. Regardless, you might want to reread the Bible, considering it contains passages where the Son is clearly distinct from the Father.
There is no distinction, Jesus clearly stated that he and the Father are one, and that if you see him then you see the Father.
Are you and your father one? If I see you do I also see your father?
I and my Father are one. - John 10:30
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? - John 14:9
