I would says that your OP states that Jesus had to die because that was God's plan, and you provided great texts showing that it was the plan.

But if one were to ask WHY the plan was the way it was, there are varying theories. Wikipedia (here) lists several theories
  • Ransom theory of atonement
  • Recapitulation theory
  • Penal substitution theory
  • Government theory
  • Moral influence theory
  • (others)
