Genesis6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.

Generally when a plan I've conceived comes out exactly as I've planned it I don't regret it.

Repenteth means sorrow or sadness, not regret. God was saddened by the depth of man's fall, His love was so great for man and man had left their creator. Yes He knew this great fall was coming, but like I said God's love was so great it still saddened Him, this is how terrible man had become.

Way to go buddy, you are making no sense at all.

Here is the definition of repent from dictionary.com

"to feel sorry, self-reproachful, or contrite for past conduct; regret or be conscience-stricken about a past action, attitude, etc. (often followed by of ): He repented after his thoughtless act.
2.
to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one's life for the better; be penitent.

So even though god(by your own admission) had planned for man to fall.
And then condemned him for the sin of doing exactly what god had intended him to do in the first place. He feels sorrow at what man had become.

Even though, since this was gods plan all along, man had no choice in the matter at all.
