Those are some pretty rosey glasses you are looking at Abraham through.

They the same "glasses" that G-D "saw through" (kavayochal). Do you have a problem with that?

And I will make of you a great nation; I will bless you, and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing. I will bless those that bless you, and those that curse you I shall curse; and all the families of the earth shall bless themselves by you. Genesis 12:1-3.

And the Lord said, "Shall I conceal from Abraham what I do, now that Abraham is surely to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by him? For I have loved him, because he commands his children and his household after him that they keep the way of the Lord, doing charity and justice, in order that the Lord might then bring upon Abraham that which He had spoken of him. Genesis 18:17-19.

Yes I do.

Call me a mystic, but I don't think the Almighty intended for us to overlook the discrepancies between Divine attribution to Abraham, and what the text actually says about Abraham.

You might want to check this ref. again BTW.
