"So the assertion that we are equal lasts for just the instant after we’re born, or after conception, right?"

It is also the basis for how one should be treated under law, so in reality, it lasts one's entire life.

"As for free will, doesn’t God know what we’re going to do in the future since he’s omniscient, and if so there is no such thing as free will.

Since he is omniscient, he sees all POSSIBLE futures. We choose which one(s) become reality."

"All my future decisions have been predetermined. Right?"

No.

“Since he is omniscient, he sees all POSSIBLE futures. We choose which one(s) become reality.”

So he doesn’t know what I’m going to do, thus he’s not omniscient. You can’t have both.

“It is also the basis for how one should be treated under law, so in reality, it lasts one’s entire life.”

That maybe a good policy but it’s not a “natural right” . It doesn’t automatically spring out of nature. In fact in a natural setting (one without human laws) the opposite is more often true. People don’t treat each other equally. And tribal leaders don’t treat all tribe members the same.
