If God could make you all knowing.Would you want to be all knowing?I would.Because then I would know all ways to help someone.:) But then it would take all the mystery out of life.:(
You also completely see through yourself and know how disobedient and selfish you are.

You also see though other people easily and notice they lie and are utterly self absorbed.

No mystery in life, Jesus came to save the lost.

You really want to intimately know everything?

Once you do, you will not be able to un-know those things.

Do you really want to know what it feels like for all the women being raped at the moment?

The children starving from countries torn by war, famine, and poverty?

would you really like to know, how everyone is feeling at the moment?

how it feels when someone cuts their wrist just to feel a little better.

and so on -

Seriously, everything is too broad a request. If it was ever granted, and the person survived, they'd be more depressed than Solomon.

I would not, I would abuse such a thing. God is the only fit being to "possess" that attribute.

At least, until we see Him and are like Him [1 John 3:2].

Adam wanted that, it did work out well for him, we are still paying the price.
