And why would God make a creation that was by nature going to disobey him?
God made a creation that had Free Will, angels are devoted to God because they have no choice. Humans have freee will to decide if they want worship God or not. Angels were created without free will and blindly follow God's bidding. He died because he was human. The savior is supposed to save mankind because that's what the prophecies tell us. Yes, mankind is supposed to be saved by sinning again, because they have Original sin anyways thus they are sinners.

I especially don't see how burning people alive was supposed to cleanse their souls.
You may not agree with why everyone is born in sin, but Original Sin has been described and it is part of the foundation of the why Jesus had to walk the earth can be crucified. Creation of life is not a sin in and of itself. Part of the Original Sin is washed away during batpism, which John the Baptist baptized Christ to give him forgiveness from original sin as well since he was born of man and all men are born with sin.

It's the extreme side that has taken a more fanatical point of view on it, including the buring at the stake, spanish inquisition tortures, and crusades.
