I'm not sure of your point, Chuck. I cetainly see nothign there saying that the date for Easter was set to eternally separate it from the Passover.
Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Vernal Equinox. Thus, the solar event of the Equinox is the deciding factor, and not a mere calculation based upon the Hebrew lunar month.
Yes, the full moon also comes into play, but only as a secondary factor.

When is Easter ?
Matthew 23:39 For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,
`Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'" [Psalm 118:26]
Barukh haba b'Shem Adonai
Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord
