Three catches:
1. The bible is inerrant and infallible only in its ORIGINAL languages of Hebrew and Greek; all translations, including KJV, are errant and fallible. In fact, the more you study ancient Hebrew and Greek, the more inaccuracies and erroes you'll notice. In some cases there're subtle references beyond literal meaning, they don't make sense to modern minds unless you know the cultural and historical context.
2. The bible is sufficient but NOT exhaustive, stated by the bible itself - "And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name." (Jn. 20-30-31) God has two revelations of himself, the special revelation through the bible, and the GENERAL revelation through all his creations. The bible is inspired by God for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction and righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16), but NOT for worship. You can know ABOUT God by studying the bible, as much as you can know ABOUT a celebrity by studying their biography, but only can you know God by personally experiencing him through his general revelation.
3.The bible is not a weapon for "prooftexting", it's not an intellectual armory for you to preach your own theories, to win debates by quoting more verses than your opponent. You can even draw certain verses to support socialism, abortion, slavery and genocide (such as the conquest of Canaan and Noah's Flood), that'd be taking the Lord's name in vain.

I agree with your sentiment however to assign the "original languages" to Hebrew and Greek you fail to appreciate the scope of translational challenges.
Koine Greek: The original language of the entire New Testament. It was the common language spoken across the Roman Empire but the educated Romans spoke in latin. Koine Greek was the uneducated vernacular form of Greek. Classic greek was very different. The Romans were attracted to Greek because it provided an expansive philosophical footprint. Many Greek speaking and reading Romans were ardant readers of the Hebrew Bible as it provided a cleaner and equally deep philosophical infrastructure. When Paul wrote to the Church in Rome he knew of how fond of the old testament and Judaism the Romans were including converted Romans. That is why when Paul wrote what we call the book of Romans he alluded to and quoted over 80 Hebrew Bible quotes to help evolve Roman fascination with Judaism into Christian theology.
Syriac: The Bible (especially the Gospels) was translated into this ancient language in the 2nd century. It was used in Syria and areas to the east.
Latin: Early Latin translations (known as Vetus Latina) started to appear late in the second century. They served the growing church in North Africa and the West.
Prior to this period, the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew and Aramaic into Greek in the third century BC. This Greek translation is known as the Septuagint. The septuagint was done by Greek Political leaders to extend the power of Greece into all areas of culture. The septuagint translators opened the door to Christianity. They chose to render "young woman" in Hebrew into Greek "virgin" for instance not realizing that this and several terms unique to their Greek translation would become the foundation of Christianity. Without the Septuagint there would likely be no Christianity.
The Hebrew bible did not include what we today call the deuterocanonical books. However many Christians accept them.
Tobit: The story of a righteous Israelite family, an angel, and a miraculous healing.
Judith: A tale of a courageous Jewish widow who saves her city from an invading Assyrian general.
1 Maccabees: A historical account of the Maccabean revolt and the rededication of the Temple (the basis for Hanukkah).
2 Maccabees: A different perspective on the Maccabean revolt, emphasizing theological concepts like the resurrection of the dead.
Wisdom (or the Wisdom of Solomon): A reflection on the value of wisdom and divine justice.
Sirach (or Ecclesiasticus): A collection of ethical and practical teachings by a Jewish sage named Ben Sira.
Baruch: A prophetic and penitential work attributed to Baruch, the scribe of the prophet Jeremiah, which often includes the Letter of Jeremiah as its final chapter.
These books are included in Roman Catholic Bible as they support indulgences, prayers for the dead, 2 Macc. 12:42-45 intercession of Angels Tobit 12:12 and Atonement Through Good Works: Tobit and Sirach (Tobit 12:9; Sirach 3:30) teach that almsgiving and good works can help expiate (make up for) sins.
The Eastern Orthodox include the Catholic deuterocanonical books but add even more texts. Both use books like Tobit, Judith, and Maccabees. However, the Orthodox also include 1 Esdras, 3 Maccabees, the Prayer of Manasseh, and Psalm 151.
Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church Bible is the largest and most complete biblical canon in Christianity, containing 81 books. In the Hebrew Bible they add
The Book of Enoch: An ancient apocalyptic text widely known in the early church.
The Book of Jubilees: An ancient Jewish religious work, sometimes called "Little Genesis".
1, 2, and 3 Meqabyan: Three unique historical books often referred to as the Ethiopian Maccabees, focusing on moral and religious battles.
4 Baruch (Paralipomena of Jeremiah): An expansion on the stories of Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch.
Ezra Sutuel and 2 Ezra (Greek Esdras): Expanded apocalyptic versions of the Book of Ezra.
The Book of Josippon and Joshua the Son of Sirach
In the New Testament one must chose. If you want to read the old testament from Hebrew you must use the Masoretic text. All our Hebrew Bible is a translation into Greek....english....
