Imagine a sinless life, wherein we’d be like plants.

I don't have to imagine a sinless life: I can see one in my Lord Jesus. He Is not at all "plant-like".

Sin is decidedly NOT what makes life worth living. I'll gladly relinquish my freedom to sin forever when I meet my Lord face-to-face.

Are you inferring that a sinless life would be one without... joy, fun, mobility, what?

I say that God allowed Adam and Eve to sin in order to be truly glorified. What glory is there in having loyal subjects who really have no choice. The key is "freedom".
