Do you really take the Bible literally and believe that God did not know that man needed a woman instead of a salamander for a mate?
18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for [5] him.” 19 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed [6] every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam [7] there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made [8] into a woman and brought her to the man.

You start with a misunderstanding about how to read the scriptures (a bit surprising for one named E=MC2, but so it goes...) In Genesis after God’s statement pronouncing “It is not good that the man should be alone...” it then goes on to point out the other animals that God created (while also indicating Adam as a thinking, speaking, rational creature—how quickly he evolved—we’re still in the Garden!) to reveal exactly that none of the other animals were a suitable helpmate for him.
When the scriptures are read we can presume to know more than what is revealed in its pages, or we can humbly seek to learn of the One who would deign to reveal Himself to those of this fallen world. We all must choose how we come to them...the day will come when our choice will be over, the knee will bend, and the tongue will confess.
At present, we handle/mishandle scripture based on our sincerity/insincerity to draw near to the Author.
