Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Ezekiel 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.
Ephesians 3:8-10 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
God created the attribute of iniquity and placed that capability in Satan. The above quote seems to show iniquity as capable of negating perfection yet scriptures show that perfection is never ending. If it could end, then even God’s perfection would be at risk and this condition is one that God would never create.
All concepts were created for God’s pleasure.
What pleasure do you think God gets from iniquity?

You quoted Deut. 32:4, this verse defeats your whole premise, you should have stopped there and praised God, but no, you continued own without thought or even a plan. No verse you quoted said anything about God creating iniquity, the verse about Lucifer says that iniquity was found in him and yes it destroyed his perfection. God is perfect as you said and so no iniquity is found in Him, as you said God would not create iniquity, so He derives no pleasure from it.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
