Your bible tells you this, that God creates not only flawed people, but evil as well. That the buck stops with God. That God is to blame.
For every action there is a counter reaction, or opposite
Good - Bad
North - South
Life - Death
Perfection - Flawed etc etc
If only one attributed was possessed that's being flawed, perfection or harmony for the world to exist, has to have both attributes otherwise you're just a robot and wouldn't exist.
One attribute cannot exist without the other, both have to exist for creation to be what it is.
Humans have both the ability to do good and bad, the ability to go North or South, the ability to aim for perfection.
God knows this and to win it back, this is where Jesus comes in with his Death and Resurrection to equalize this weakness within all of his creation, not just with human.
Bit of end time theology, this is why the very last thing we will have is a new heaven and a new earth when all that flawlessness will final be united through Jesus's Death and Resurrection. into one perfection that you speak off
So yes God know's he's responsible for all creation
And yes yes I also know there is no proof of it, but you have quoted christian theology so I'm also going by that.

''One attribute cannot exist without the other, both have to exist for creation to be what it is.''
How do you know this? Does omnipotence by definition not allow a God to create people who are not flawed and fallible?
The claim was that our mess cannot be cleaned up without the 'kingdom of God' - which implies perfection in the Kingdom of God and that perfection can exist without evil.
Or is the Kingdom of God both good and evil, because, well, one cannot exist without the other?
