Genesis 2 should be read in light of Genesis 1. The animals were created before Adam. So at this point after Adam was already made, God's statement that he would make a helper for Adam excludes the animals that were already made.
No, Genesis 1 should be read in light of Gen 2:4 which explicitly says that a "day" is not a 24 hr literal day, but an indefinite period of time.
Why would God need to create the animals out of the ground if they were already there?
For the Bible to inform us about God's will, it must be interpreted in a consistent manner that takes into account milleu, genre and culture. The literalism you espouse satisfies none of this and get hopelessly entangled in a web of deception.
