My secondary point (my opinion) was that we shouldn't have images of God or symbols of God because they limit our understanding of the true God by boiling him down to a symbol or an image. But God did take on an image.

But should we be worshipping the image that God took on or should we be worshipping the eternal glory of Christ?

We don't worship the image. That is your perception only. The image of Christ, who was really on earth, as a real man with a real face, who suffered a real death for us, can lead us to better understand the reality of the glory of God. All those poor, dull, illiterate folks certainly understand the concept when they see a Crucifix.
