i don't and didn't speak for God, they were questions, which you didn't answer.
A)He established that the wages of sin was death from the beginning. That Adam and Eve would no longer have access to the tree of life meant they'll have death because their nature is sinful and they (upon expulsion) had knowledge of what evil was.
B)God's plan wasn't for them to eat the fruit because it was the one forbidden fruit not to eat. It did present a forseable choice, not an inevitable outcome.
C)Jesus isn't the solution for sin. He is the atonement or reparations for sin. If Jesus' dying freed all man from sin, he did a crappy job because we all still sin. A solution for sin would be ignorance of evil and faith in God, but that's not where we're at at or could get back to.
D)Jesus is the narrow doorway though by which we can still have access to God's will in this life and the afterlife.
Scripturaly you can't support that Eve was following God's plan in sinning and by stating she was it's obvious you believe she had no choice or free will. Jesus was a willing sacrifice for mankind, and He is the cornerstone of Christianity. You've failed to established where it is immoral to sacrifice yourself for the greater good.
You're absolutely right in that there was no need for God to send His son, He could have just let us all die for eternity. Wouldn't that have been a wasted effort in the first place though? Certainly not something an omnimax God would do.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
