you’re saying that Jesus made Mary perfect at some point in her life after being born from imperfect parents so that He could be perfect?

More precicely, at the time of her conception; this is why it is Immaculate Conception. Yes, that is what the Church teaches.

Why not have Jesus be perfect made from imperfect flesh?

Or make Him not from flesh at all? This is precisely the puzzlement that led Kresta to Mary: that for some reason it pleased God to be born of flesh. Now the question becomes, in light of the verses such as

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. (Luke 1:42)

and

there is no good tree that bringeth forth evil fruit; nor an evil tree that bringeth forth good fruit. For every tree is known by its fruit. (Luke 6:43f)

-- what kind of flesh?

Was Mary "good fruit"?

Funny, I thought it was outlined well in Romans 5:18 "Therefore, as through one man’s offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life." Mary's mysterious role in salvation is not mentioned. Instead it is because sin came through Adam that Jesus became flesh as a restoration of all men to life. Not because of some desire for birth through Mary.
