I have a hard time imagining God creating someone He knows will go to hell after death.

It's because he values our free will. He didn't create automatons.

I have a hard time imagining God creating someone He knows will go to hell after death. I don't worry about that. After all, God is the "potter" and we are but "clay" in His hands. Who are we to complain about His justice and mercy? We have free will to obey or not; and to suffer the consequences.
PS: Where are going with this type of questioning?

They go to hell by their own use of free will. Allowing them to live a life here on earth, maybe of riches, is quite a gift from God for which God foreknew they would be totally undeserving. It shows God’s mercy.
