God did create Lucifer and He knew what Lucifer would decide to do, that still doesn't mean God desired evil to become a part of creation.
You have basically contradicted yourself. If god was omniscient, he would have known that lucifer would turn against god. If god is omniscient, and he created lucifer knowing this, then god desired evil to become part of creation. Had he not wanted evil to exist, he would not have created lucifer due to his omniscience informing him of the outcome of creating such a being that would introduce evil into the world.
It doesn't matter if it was Lucifer or another angel it was going to be someone disobeying God. What you lack is understanding of the scriptures, God created the angels, mankind and any other beings capable of loving God for that very reason, God wanted His created ones to love Him. What is wrong with that, please tell me, what is wrong with that? God wanted His created ones to love Him freely, is there something wrong with that, tell me? Do you want others to love you because they want to, because they actually love who you are? This is what God wants, now maybe you want people to love you because they fill obligated to, that is not true love by the way. So God gave us free will to choose, He wants people to choose.
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.
