It's not that he can't create us Angelic like, it's that perhaps the value and rich experience of character building with the struggle against evil, fortitude against adversity, free-will to chose, etc, is better, and given the long run, that people will be at peace and will be good, it maybe worth it. Things like learning to forbear and forgive evil people without forced to, but through your own choice, maybe be better and more valuable.
What I'm saying is the value of the character that had to chose, struggle, be patient, be strong in face of adversity, and that character, cannot be simply given.
Sure love towards others, having virtues of Angels, this is possible, why not...but it doesn't have that character built through adversity, that strength through forces pushing against it.
