Jesus is talking about PEOPLE. He didn’t die to redeem creation. He came and died to redeem PEOPLE.

Um, again, they're not mutually exclusive.

Respectfully, I would submit that the Scripture teaches -- He did both:

"For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now." (Romans 8:22)

"But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells." (2 Peter 3:13)

I don't think that your post was incorrect, just incomplete.

People are created in the image and likeness of God.

Physical creation is not.

Redemption of creation comes with redemption of man since corruption of man corrupted creation.

But Jesus came to save mankind, not creation. That’s just tagging along with the redemption of mankind part.

Mankind is not equivalent to physical creation.
