Following this line of reasoning should lead one to conclude that God made a mistake in creating man in the first place...

That He didn’t know that man would sin against Him until Adam did so... and of course if God didn’t know what was coming, and furthermore didn’t have a plan for it, then He must not really be God then, and if He isn’t God, then there is no God.

Fact is, there really is not much need for God to punish those who sin against others on a daily basis, because the consequence of the sin normally returns to the sinner in one way or the other... because we reap what we sow... The thief gets his hand cut off by the merchant, the liar is found out and stoned... or at least is no longer trusted, and ultimately the penalty for the mere fact that we are all sinners is physical death.

This physical death is not the same as our spiritual death.
Those who have found Jesus have found eternal life AFTER their physical death, and the ETERNAL consequence for their sin has been paid for by Jesus Himself.

No... we do not escape our sins... all will give an account.
But to relate everything needing a “cure” to the physical and temporal realms is simply narrow minded.
