1. If the Bible is omitting facts, especially important ones like this, then it can not be trusted not to be omitting other facts, and it has no credibility as a source.
2. I don't think they had sufficient understanding of the consequences, regardless of what they were. Adam and Eve did not know what human death and misery was. They didn't know what good and evil was, so how could they know that disobeying God was evil? If I told you "Don't you dare learn about fire, or I will burn you with it", and you, in the same childlike state Adam and Even were in, lack understanding of even the basic concept of what fire or burning is, what sense does this threat even make to you? That's what makes the whole thing a stupid farce in the first place.
