You are looking at it too simplistically. Suppose life arose from non-living matter, ie. dust. This first simple life then evolved into more complex life, eventually leading to the physical body of humans. Suppose God created the conditions that would inevitably lead to this occurrence. Would it not then be correct to state that He created humans from dust? The Bible states simply that God created humans from dust. It does not say that there were no intermediate steps.
Remember, the Bible was written to give moral guidance to a pre-industrial tribe with little scientific knowledge. Any knowledge of the world that the Hebrews had came from observation and common sense. Modern science shows that common sense is not always an accurate guide to the way the universe works. Essentially, from the viewpoint of scientific knowledge, the Hebrews were children. When you explain things to your children, do you do so using the complete modern scientific understanding, or do you find a simpler way to explain things that your children can understand? Why would God not do the same for the Hebrews? The Bible explains what the Hebrews needed to know, namely that God created everything. They lacked the scientific understanding to grasp the full details.
I have never heard that before. You threw it out as a fact - where is that fact established?

If you want to go down that path, have fun. Or we can just go with what God said. A pastor of mine said something like 'Are you believing what you read, or reading what you believe'. I think a lot of people 'read into' the bible what they want to believe.
