"Gen 2:18 And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

He didn't make a help mate for Adam when He created the animals though did He? He had already made the animals, He presented them to Adam for naming and to demonstrate that none of them were a suitable help mate?

Then after the presentation of the animals, He made the help mate, Eve.

Let's see if linking will make it clearer for you ...

"And the LORD God said, [It is] not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field ..."

Then after the presentation of the animals, He made the help mate, Eve.

He gave all the animals to Adam in the hope that Adam would find a help mate, but Adam did not find one.

Gen 2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.

Then after the presentation of the animals

Which end of the animals did he present to Adam?

[shubi]

Apparently, God did not know before hand that a pet would not suffice for Adam. And Adam gaveth names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field; but for Adam there was not found an help meet for him.  (Ge 2:20) I guess since the speed of light had not slowed down yet, the kryptonite was interfering with omniscience.
