Therefore, since God (as described in the Bible) does various things, God does want things. And, as you rightly point out, that means he must not be perfect, or he would not have created anything.
I'm using "want" here in the sense that God is lacking or wanting for something. He is not.
In the sense that He wills things to happen, sure...He "wants" them to happen for our benefit. But not because he is making up for something missing in His own life

Yet more of your typical bullshit nonsense. Before we were created, it was impossible to do anything for us, because there was no us to be benefited. The act of creating in the first place can only be because God wants to do so, which means he lacks something that he desires. This is proof that god is defective.
And the idea that creating the world as we have it is for our benefit is so fucking stupid you should be ashamed to say such nonsense. Right, we have diseases for our benefit. And earthquakes. And too many other bad things to list. Your claim that this is for us is so ridiculous, you could not say anything more idiotic if you tried.
I suppose you think hell is for our benefit, too?
It is amazing how religion warps one's understanding and gives rise to seemingly infinite stupidity.
