And the purpose for this everlasting punishment in hell is what if not just a show of cruelty?
What does God or anyone else gain?

Well it's not a show of cruelty, it is what it is, punishment for eternal sin. We gain nothing from it, that's not what hell is for, what is gained, eternal justice as promised by God. Teaearlgreyhot has been arguing that a balance between the saved and lost needs to be met, this is it. Eternal grace + eternal punishment = justice.
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.
