Did you bother considering the passages I referenced or the link I included?

Your position means that God the Father poured His wrath on Christ for the sins of all the damned who died before Christ ever walked the earth. Why would Christ pay for sins of those already doomed? In your view, He punished Christ for the sins of those wiped from the Earth in the judgment of the Great Flood. In your view Jesus bore the sin of Hitler, Mao, and Stalin. The Bible never teaches any of that. It does, however, plainly teach He died for His sheep and that He actually saved them.

John 3:17 is my most favorite verse, because it doesn’t begin with “EXCEPT”.

The sins of the entire world, not just the elect.

1 Jn 2:2, “but He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for our sins only, but also for the sins of the entire world.” God the Father was satisfied with His judgment of our Lord.
