There are a decent number of elements have have zero use in human biology, and many are actually a hindrance to biological functions. For example, radioactive elements will cause cancer, others are toxic to humans and so on. Would the Earth, perhaps, be even more perfect without elements such as Uranium and Polonium?

Isn't it rather curious that humans just so happen to be primarily constructed (maybe that's the wrong word) of the most common elements in our universe? Could a "Chemical Argument Against God" a good argument? How do you think a Theist may respond? I've mentioned previously my father has a doctorate in Chemistry.

So... From your perspective, If we are not made of a given element or can't eat it, it is your belief if thier was a God he made us or this world imperfectly.. And be use we can physically consume or because we are not made of all the available elements that some how would put God in error?!?!

I would suggest the opposite. Because for me it is very apparent that God provided the elements we are made of, and can eat.. But also provided us with the building blocks that helps us subdue this world.
Iron, copper, cobalt, hydrogen, plutonium are all used in our lives everyday. From our dwellings to our transportation to our power sources, to the things the next generations will need to live life

It always becomes so convoluted when post-hoc explanations are made for the world that god supposedly created in light of increased scientific knowledge. If we were really poofed into existence by a god, then we would only be made of one element - godium. It would be sufficient for all processes, there would be no need for anything else. Complicated explanations would be completely unnecessary for the complexity of the world. This also applies to the vastness of the universe, we are simply too insignificant compared to the size of the universe to be considered anything more than a byproduct of it, not a central purpose of design of it.
Using the supernatural to explain events in your life is a failure of the intellect to comprehend the world around you. -The Inquisition
