Why have any laws, even the Ten Commandments, if there’s always “wiggle room”?

Because the intent of the Law was to lead us to Christ, not to save us.

It's meant to show us God's standard and our need for redemption.

If righteousness could be gained through the Law, Christ died for nothing.

Never heard of that one. Do you have a source?
