I don't see the reasoning behind this part yet.

Is the argument: "If God didn't need to make us, then we are just his toys or lab rats"? 

Why couldn't someone argue that he didn't need to make us, but we are more than just toys or lab rats? What is it about a lack of necessity that makes us toys? Why couldn't someone say: "God didn't need to make us, but he did it anyway, and he made us valuable independent beings"? 

I'm not saying you're wrong, I just don't see the link in the two concepts.
