In Matthew 5:17-18, He says that He came to fulfill the law and not to overturn it and that every part of the law will be fulfilled without exception. Also, he was a rather serious student of scripture as a young man. You may conclude from this that he regarded Genesis as trustworthy. This makes sense as Genesis is regarded by Christians and Jews to be divine revelation, not just some fiction written by Moses to answer questions he could not answer.

Yet Moses was not an eyewitness to Creation. He was writing by Inspiration.

Precisely!
To claim the important thing is Christ, while actually ignoring Christ's clear regard for Genesis, is a circuitous means of denying Christ while maintaining a fiction of Christianity.
Call it the theological version of "my boyfriend likes someone else...so I'll blame her."
