I haven't tried to prove that their is a diffrence between knowing what you should do and being aware of evil. I have only asserted that the lack of such a possibility is not substantiated that will be the extent of my argument.
I say it is not substantiated, or any more than a pipedream that knowledge of what one should do is equal to the knowledge of evil. The story of the bible, which is all that I will defend says that Adam was instructed, that he was able and that he was not aware of evil. I will not defend a story outside of those defining characteristics and I currently do not find any conflict between those ideas. If you do, then I will admit that I cannot blame you for doing so and that I do not have the ability to show you otherwise.
I don't see how anything you've said negates Adam's status wrt to knowing whether his disobedience was evil or not. I see no difference at all between 'being aware of what he should do' and being aware doing the opposite was wrong, which equates imo to knowing the difference between right and wrong, or good and evil.

If Adam could be tempted to do wrong, then he must have been able to recognise whether something was wrong or right, regardless of who or what told him to do it. That God was the one who told him is irrelevant unless he already knew disobeying God was wrong.
