This truly is the question.Why would any Omnipotent God have to have Himself incarnated as His own Son, just to have that incarnate Son be tortured to death on a cross?
And one where the answer may always be but theory, speculation, and a good guess, thus why we have theologians.
But IMO, the answer has to do with the idea of "Sin". And let's not worry about the little sins like lying, stealing, etc. And I'll go back to the story of Adam and Eve.
IMO, Adam and Eve is allegorical and metaphorical. Prior to "Sin" their existence with God would be described as Holy where the presence of God and his creation co-existed.
The representation of the first sin is separation between God and his creation. Why Adam and Eve left the garden and were now separated, which bring us to where we are today.
But the question is why did this separation have to occur in the first place? Why couldn't god just forgive this sin and start over? Perhaps the answer lies in the metaphysical and or spiritual world where there are laws and or rules in place that we can't begin to explain or understand. This of course makes your question absolutely reasonable. The short answer, the sacrifice on the Cross removes the consequence of sin between our spiritual/metaphysical self and that of God.
What the actual sacrifice did behind the veil (figuratively speaking) is repair that gap and reopened that gap for Man to one day rejoin God. What are the details, hell if I know or anyone else. But, if correct, we would find out.
