So my question is: If god hates sin so much, why did he create us like this, with this traits?
You hit the nail on the head. I don't know any theist who actually answers this question when I pose it.
I don't want to discourage you from your beliefs, but it is entirely possible that while God may exist, he/she/it may not be the God you expect. The bible and Qur'an like to assert itself as the infallible word of God, but it is entirely possible that they got it all wrong.

Re: Theology n' Science
But what I wonder is, while it's true some of our traits make sense in a way, why is god so mad and disappointed in humans, when he knew our many traits would backfire horribly and cause suffering
God cannot be omnipresent, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent while humans are sinful, without God indicting himself. If God is the Creator, then God has dominion over everything. Even giving us the choice makes him complicit in the ultimate outcome. It's a logically inescapable conclusion.
So you are right to question why God would become indignant over human sin when he supposedly knows long before the actual ever takes place what we will do, and is the one who created us with said desire in the first place.
