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.
Or just forgiven us outright.
