Since God has perfect and complete love in Himself and and creation was to share his love to finite creatures, wouldn’t it be better that God didnt create us at all, with the suffering in the world?
 
Obviously God deemed it worthy to create, knowing all, knowing the beginning from the end as we do not, in spite of the evil that He knew would transpire by 1) creating, and 2) giving free will to that creation-to ourselves and angels. The Church teaches that He would not have done so unless,. ultimately, He intends to bring and even greater good out of the evil that resulted.

Why did your parents have you?
In your life you caused them hardship of various kinds, some intentional, some just part of living… and at the end of it all you yourself will die. Yet your parents procreated, and there you are.

Why did you parents have you?
 
Love.
Love creates for the sake of having the other. Suffering does not defeat love, and it does not defeat the good of being alive, even though at times it certainly makes that goodness very hard to see.
 
Since we have been created, what sort of bumbling deity are we speaking of? Or, do we have a natural tendency to over-think things? I know that I do.
