This is all my opinion but because I've pondered this as well, I'll try to give you my opinion on the matter. Pleas don't take any offense to what I am about to say.
To answer your first question, as to why he would cast out one of his angels. I sort of like John Milton's view of Satan in "Paradise Lost." Satan thought he was better than God! How dare an Angel think he is better than his creator. Perhaps God saw that Satan was smarter than him and thought that he would bring the other Angels down to his level, thus he banished him. I don't know why Hell was created other than a place for Lucifer to be, a place to keep him separate from the other Angels.
I think God is imperfect himself, if he created Man in his own image then he must be imperfect. He probably created Man as a way to leave something in the world.
In conclusion, I don't think God likes Perfection.We need evil to exist in the world but we also need good as well. Without misery people would be idiots. We need sad things to happen in our lives in order to make us stronger. We need good things in our lives so we appreciate the precious moments. I think that Lucifer needs to exist, but I also think that he should be kept at bay from God. Lucifer is poison, he is corruption in every form, but he is necessary for man. Does that make sense?
This makes more sense than the typical "good vs evil" stereotype.
I do believe that we need a balance of both good and evil in the world, light and dark, night and day, male and female. The constant struggle for this "perfect world" most people look for is just plain futile.
We don't need male and female. Egg or sperm cells can be generated from male or female somatic cells now. We could survive now if suddenly all men died. And once we have developed and artificial womb we could do the same if all women suddenly died.
I haven't really pondered the answers, just the questions. But that's just because I'm not interested in Christianity.
Even if the bible had a smudge of truth in it, it's long been corrupted by generation after generation of man. There's no way the current bible story could ever accurately tell the original tale, if it even existed or happened.
I just posted this to get some of the bible-bashers thinking, really. :/
It is believed that the old King James version is the most accurate English translation in existence today.
There are many places where other versions differ from it completely.
Apparently, the Catholics have their own version of the bible that has been modified as their church sees fit.
The Freemasons have also corrupted one version of the bible, but I can't remember which one.
Bibles are likely to be further corrupted in the future to even allow such things as gay marriage.
While I can't guarantee the authenticity of the King James Bible, I can tell you that it's the most correct (English) version there is.
Christians: If God is perfect then why...?

I was agreeing with you up until you added that religion bit.

And this is relevant to the harmonic balance of life because....???
On that note, I completely agree with you.
Have you pondered a response to these questions you've posted. I want to hear your opinion.

It is true that the Bible has been corrupted.
It is believed that the old King James version is the most accurate English translation in existence today.
There are many places where other versions differ from it completely.
Apparently, the Catholics have their own version of the bible that has been modified as their church sees fit.
The Freemasons have also corrupted one version of the bible, but I can't remember which one.
Bibles are likely to be further corrupted in the future to even allow such things as gay marriage.

Hmmm... cool.
