Let's get it straight, We can't hate people bcoz it will land us in hell!. God can hate people if he wants because he doesn't end up in hell. 
And Going to Hell is not based on if we hate people or not.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
We are saved by Gods grace through Faith in Jesus Christ. We go to heaven on our faith not on if we don't hate people.
Great so I could hate people and still pls God and not loose my salvation. Fabulous
Matthew 5:21-22
“You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder,[a] and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause[b] shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.

My friend, if you die with bitterness and hatred in you, you will not enter heaven. That is why we must repent of sin, and not let Satan lead us into condemnation. Pride always leads one into condemnation, but the Lord spares the humble. I know it.
We have to repent of sin, and anyone that is walking after the Spirit of God manifests these:
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Are you Christ's?
May Jesus bless you.

I'm not sure about this.
How about giving some Scripture to back up what you say.
Where in the Bible does it say you can not enter the kingdom with hatred or bitterness? That's ridiculous. We all have off days. My sister came home bitter from work because people mistreated her. If she died right then I'm certain she would still go to heaven. For the bible says: Romans 5:20 "Where sin abounds, grace much more abounds."
Sorry, but do you go to church at all?

I believe that they may seem so only because God wanted a world free of sin, the old testament kinda exemplifies how it would be without free will. The main thing to remember is that God gave his only son Jesus to die on the cross to save our sins, everyone's sins whether they choose to embrace him or not
My follow up question then would be: why then is sin sin except that God says it is? If I create a robot with the ability to do tasks 1 to 10, then I declare that while it is programmed to do tasks 1 to 10, only tasks 2 to 8 may be done else I pull out a shot gun and shoot the robot. The robot in due time performs task 9, I blow its head off. Robot is done with... did I love my robot or hate it? Why did I make it so it had the ability to do something I forbid?

This set up doesn't work because humans are not programmed computers. We have free will. God gave us the choice to obey Him or to disobey Him in the garden of Eden. We chose the path that led to destruction. That choice resulted in everyone born after that to be born into this sin curse (Psalm 51:5). My question is more along the lines of why was Satan allowed to enter that garden? I think, partly to show Adam and Eve how loyal they were to God.
Why is sin sin? Because it's evil. I hope I don't have to explain how sin is evil, but I will if you're not convinced already. A few real examples. Stealing. Would you like to be stolen from? Especially something you really like? Adultery. How would you feel if your wife cheated on you then moved in with with and married another guy? That's sin. It's evil. Fornication. How would you feel if your wife just told you she used to be a hooker on your wedding night?
Your last question I will address by putting in directly into real life and ask it this way. Why did God make humans to be able to do something He forbids? This is an easy question. You're asking why did God make us with free will. And that is because He loves us and chose to give us one of the greatest gift there is, without such true love could not exist. A love that is forced through design is not the love that comes from a spiritual being. If God designed humans to always choose good then they're choice to do good and evil wouldn't be there, and that's not a good thing because that would reduce the human existence to that of exactly what your example was. A robot with commuter programming for a brain. Think about it this way. Would YOU like to be reduced to that? There are a lot of unspoken things that cannot be experienced by robots no matter how advanced. Genesis chapter 1 would be a good read for you.
I pray that you understand that Jesus' love does not contradict the wrath of the Old Testament and Revelation.
