He wants it because He permits it and could prevent it. Evil only happens because He allows it to happen. He is supposed to be all-powerful yet he permits sickness, agony, death, heartbreak, wars, atrocities, etc.
He created Hell so that he would have a place for eternal torment, which seems to turn Him on. And did this knowing (because He is all-knowing) that the imperfect creatures He created would end up there.

The bible does not support that. Actually, Ecclesiastes sums up the fate of the “natural man” nicely. You eat and drink and enjoy the fruits of your labor, and then you die.
But the free gift of eternal life is offered to those who would accept and who are written in the book of life. You can turn it down if you so choose, then you do the ecclesiastes thing and die. Other than being resurrected to enable the death of your soul, you will go away forever. as the bible calls it, “death, perish, destruction”. You are no more.
The bible is very clear about this.
Hell was created for the devil and the fallen angels, not for man. The evil in the world is not from God is from Satan and his fallen angels.
