Fairy tales are often simpler than reality-- "logical" is not the right word, though-- "simple" is.
At least Adam and Eve are a solid logical foundation on how human race began on earth. It is not like guessing under the hood of abiogenesis how life began and how first life form looked.
The problem is that your simple story lacks evidence, any explanatory value of how we have become what we are, any predictive value for possible future states of humanity, and it's tied into a mythology about a Sky Daddy who punishes children, "even to the fourth generation," for the sins of their fathers. And then, after all this baby-torturing, sends messengers to tell us that God is pure good and perfectly all-loving. Yeah-- totally logical.
