Jesus had to take on the sin of the world in order to pay the sin debt we could not pay ourselves. He had to be fully God and fully man in order to do this. We however can not do this because we are only mortal. If He decided to just remove the sin since yes, He is all good and powerful, He would not be able to accomplish the penance for our sin. By making 1 suffer, He saved everyone from the consequences of our mistakes. He was entirely perfect, but by putting on all the sin of past, present and future mistakes He succeeded where we had failed.
