If a good being creates free will for his creatures, he has to create a way for them to disobey him (sin). Man has no free will unless he has the option to turn against God (sin). Then, God used Jesus Christ to get us back on track, even though we still have the option to go against God (sin).
If man created sin, that would mean that, prior to the invention, what people did was perfectly moral. Usually what we recognize as sin is pretty obvious to anyone, like being a jerk. So, if man could label being a jerk as 'sin' and get people to stop it, wouldn't that be a good thing in itself? Even though that's not necessarily the case.
