The contradiction could be ratified if you were made ignorant.\
It is possible to choose knowledge and be happier about it. As a matter of fact it is obviously true or else most people wouldn't have chosen it. For that matter there wouldn't be a thing called science or study. We probably would regress to the point which makes life easier and happier.

Of course God knew that humans would eat the fruit, but the point was that it was a decision made with free will. It is not a contradiction, you just need to try to understand how omniscience does not necessitate fate.
It is possible the choose knowledge and be happy about it, unfortunately it also come with the price of being responsible for your actions. People cannot be perfect, and Adam and Eve were not perfect when they were in the Garden. The distinction is that until they ate from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil they did not
know that they were doing wrong. Once they knew of their own imperfection then they were obligated to take responsibility for their actions.
