Were all the other gods going in for the "distressed" look?

He didn't. The world is as the scientist say, billions of years old. The first chapter of Genesis is not about God's original creation, but about his restoration after the destruction brought about by Satan.
The New International Version of the Bible hints at this in its footnote for Genesis 1:2, it would read: "Now the earth BECAME formless and empty," Elsewhere the Bible declares that God did not make the earth "empty" or in confusion (the meaning of "formless"): "For this is what the Lord says-- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited -- he says: 'I am the Lord, and there is no other' " (Isaiah 45:18). "For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints" (1 Corinthians 14:33).

A new world would be unable to support plants and animals. The air and water would not be safe as all the methane, and other chemicals would be in the air and surface, like inside a volcano. It takes time for this to settle to make the surface safe.
An aged planet would be calmer as the plates and crust would have cooled so earthquakes would be very small, no more than 6 by today's scale.
The water would have time to settle in the lowest places on the planet, or freeze in the coldest, also.
Lastly animals that evolved to a dead end could die off before GOD made man.
Oh, also the comets and other heavenly objects would settle into safer orbits, or impact into Jupiter/other bodies - so it would be safer here on Earth.
That's why an "aged" world is better for life than a "new" world.

It is stated by Peter in romans that we see the world as it is today and assume that is the way it has always been. The world was perfect when Adam and Eve were created. No meat eating, work, thorns, suffering, fear, etc. Man brought sin into the world thus bringing forth all kinds of flaws we see today. This is gods judgment on sin. God hates sin. See drdino.com downloads for more details on the age of the earth.

God did not create the world, we know exactly how the world was created, we know all the events it has gone through, we just do not know why. One misconception is people use science to say the bible is wrong, but they miss a point, if god created the universe then the earth formed as part of that, however that falls apart as we could be on any planet, we named this earth not god. Then we named god the maker of our earth, if a god existed why did he create spiders, there ugly and squishy under a brick.

Hey, god doesn't follow the trends, he makes 'em.
Somewhere in Alpha Centauri, the Lord of All, GHWINTC,
is looking at earth and saying,
"Wow, that fight between evolutionists and creationists looks fun. I mean, that earth god, Bob, has the right idea. Make the planet look billions of years old for no other purpose than to mess with the inhabitants! Brilliant!"

Why did God create a Grown Man instead of a baby?

it keeps those without faith busy.
All that silly research, science, discovery and such. God knew that some of the people he created were going to have brains worth using, and he planted a few fun things around to keep them happy.
But, he really made the world for the majority of us who don't want to think too much and just follow his word.

I guess your question is in jest but the truth is; our world is not "aged".
It's no more than 6000-7000 years of age. Still quite old by our (human) reckoning but infantile to what the scientific community says it is.
You see, the scientific community won't accept anything they can't prove. So they tell us that something is billions of years old because they can't figure out how it could exist otherwise. They do radiometric and carbon 14 dating to test the ages of things but they use flawed reasoning (+fuzzy math?) to get the answers given by their testing.
Those who would like to know a specific fact, can go to icr.org and ask their question.

The same reason that God created the grown man, Adam and the grown woman, Eve.
