Jesus had to pay the price because no one else could, it took the perfect sinless man to shed blood to cover our sin. God said that innocent blood was the only thing that could cover sin, that is why He set specific rules on the animals to be sacrificed. Now you are wondering why this had to be I suppose, well we have to go back to Genesis and to the fall of Adam and Eve to find this answer. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God they brought sin into this world by their disobedience. When God found them they were hiding because the for one were afraid and two they understood what naked meant now that sin was part of their lives. God having compassion for them made a choice and brought the first death into the world, God was forced to kill a part of His creation and to this point God had only created life, He was the life giver. God kill animals and used their skins to cloth Adam and Eve, (you're probably think why didn't He just create some), these cloths cost innocent animals their lives, their innocent blood was spilled to cover those who were now in a state where they understood nakedness and they understood this because they had sinned. Thus God from that time forward was going to require innocent blood to cover man's sin. Now the why above, why He did this and why He did not just create cloths, God wanted man to see the horrors of sin so he would understand what sin cost not just man but cost God. Adam and Eve saw in the same day they sinned death come and that death was laid upon them in the form of cloths showing their guilt to all of creation. God has never been at fault, man has brought all this terrible stuff on himself and the natural world, just as God said would happen if/when Adam and Eve sinned. It wasn't a question as to whether they would sin God knew it was going to happen even before He created the first thing, that is why God the Son said He would give His life as a man for those He had created, He wanted us back, He wanted our love and the relationship that goes with that love, the relationship is why man was created in the first place. So now you have the why of the blood and of Jesus sacrifice, it is a reminder to man of the horror of sin. To answer the last part, God the Father did not kill His Son man did from the beginning of time till the crucifixion on the cross. Sin is a horrible thing that cost God and man the perfect creation and the perfect relationship, but with the love God has for everyone he has patiently let this thing run it's coarse and awaits any that will accept what Jesus did for a sinful world. If this is not a satisfactory answer then you need not ask again because this is the truth of why Jesus allowed man to kill Him and be the perfect sacrifice to save those who desired a renewed relationship with God.
All you have done is restate your indoctrination and answered nothing, the question was 'why didn't god simply forgive us' I didn't ask according to your indoctrination how did god forgive us. This is what happens when you just believe nonsense.
I will take your answer as simply you do not know.
