Why would you assume that God needed all of his dirt to make you?
The dirt is his, just as is the gold and the cattle on a thousand hills.
Psalms 50:10-15
10 "For every beast of the forest is Mine, The cattle on a thousand hills.
11 "I know every bird of the mountains, And everything that moves in the field is Mine.
12 "If I were hungry I would not tell you, For the world is Mine, and all it contains.
13 "Shall I eat the flesh of bulls Or drink the blood of male goats?
14 "Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving And pay your vows to the Most High;
15 Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I shall rescue you, and you will honor Me."
Haggai 2:8
'The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,' declares the LORD of hosts.

Because He saw fit to leave some dirt.
The dirt did not "evolve" into men, because of the "blind laws of necessity" or because of a perceived good. If it had evolved, there would be no reason that all of the dirt could not have evolved into men.
The argument you tried to use only works against a belief that all things came to be what they are now through a combination of the "blind laws of necessity" and random mutations, not through the guidance of a rational Being.

God only made one man out of dirt, Adam. Eve was made out of a rib of Adam. Together then they had children.

Soil contains all the minerals that we are made of. You know the stuff that makes dirt look dark? That’s carbon. Must I explain the carbon cycle to you?

Man and dirt both have a common ancestor.

Because He made him "from" dust, not evolved him from dust. Plus He made the first man in that way - the rest procreated "after their own kind".

Uhhhh....cuz he didn't use it all up? Da Vinci used paint to create the Mona Lisa. Why is there still paint? I made brownies with eggs and flour. Why are there still eggs and flour? You created your question from letters. Why are there still letters?

Does God have a sense of humor? You bet...The one I Am has a sense of humor...and I am made in His image...(If we are made from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?) And of course, Searcher has the logical answer...
