Excellent question...to which no one will have a satisfactory answer. I can only say this:
You argue the same logic which led me to drop religion out of my life: If god is all powerful and all-knowing, then in light of the evils of the world, he is either unwilling or unable to intervene. In either case, with god unwilling to help or unable to, god isn't exactly the kind of guy one would want to thank or worship. The religious folks will crucify me (hee hee) for this, but their counterpoints always end up falling through the logical ice -- often, they just mindlessly quote the bible instead of offering logical argument.
The bottom line is that we just don't know the reason for creation...and attempts to reason our way to an answer usually lead to paradoxes and dead ends.
I just try to live the best life I can, on the assumption that perhaps it will be the only life I ever live.
ADDITION: Humans write books, not god. Sorry folks.

The purpose of creation is destruction. In order to destroy there first has to be creation.
God explained it all in Genesis 6. Remorse and destruction are the two great principles of creation. God did them partially, and he's planning to do them completely.
It will be a great release of Divine disgust, and wondrous to behold, only no one will behold it.

Some people reject God because they can find no evidence for Him which satisfies both their hearts and minds simultaneously. Then there are others who accept God on the basis of emotional or irrational reasons which satisfy their hearts, but leave their minds unsure. These two groups of people have never found a satisfying answer to the question of their relationship with God. Then there are yet others who have found the correct path which God intended for us: to accept Him and His message to us using our minds first and foremost, and the heart follows easily and naturally as a consequence.
Instead of searching for the answer, there are also some people who chose to simply brush the question aside and ignore it unfortunately. This is the easy way out of what appears to be a very difficult, mysterious question which may seem to have no final solution. Most of these people are unaware of a very powerful message which completely and unequivocally establishes the correct path to God. This message squares with both the mind and the heart, and it has no equal since it comes to us straight from God Himself.
The message comes in the form of a book. In fact, God has given us several Books of guidance through the years, but each one was ultimately corrupted and changed by dishonest people. Each Book essentially contained the same fundamental message as the previous Books. Mankind was expected to guard these Books from harm, but unfortunately failed to live up to this expectation. Slowly but surely, each Book was edited and tampered with, destroying its authenticity. This is partly why God kept sending us more revelations.
However, almost 1400 years ago, God sent us another Book with the same basic message as the earlier ones, but with a small but very important difference. This time, God decreed that this Book would be the last Book sent down to us because God would protect it Himself. Regarding this Final Book, God said,
"Behold, it is We Ourselves who have bestowed from on high this reminder: and behold, it is We who shall truly guard it" [Chapter 15, verse 9]
Today, if we compare the 114 chapters in every copy of this Final Book with each other, we will find they match perfectly word for word - from the oldest copies made 1300-plus years ago to the ones printed just a few hours ago. No human hand has changed it.
The rational person has every right to be doubtful, of course, if he or she has never read this book. For such people, here is a small sample of what the Final Book contains. Suppose we wanted to ask God several questions about Him and about ourselves. Short of Him speaking to us directly (such a privilege has been granted to only one person out of all humanity), the Book has the best answers one can find. It is on the strength of these answers that an honest person may be struck with the conviction that the Final Book is from none other than God Almighty. Again, here is only a small part of the information one might find.

The perfect God made the world with error so his perfect and eternal purpose can be fulfilled.

No one on earth at this day age knows the answer to that. You can bang your brain for rest of your life but just like all before you have failed to know without a doubt how it all went down.

I don't know, but I would add this to your question:
If God is infinite, and always has been and always will be, then he by definition has possibly already created an infinite number of Adams and Eves, and will create infinitely more Adams and Eves.
