Where does it say that Adam and Eve were perfect?
True, God "created man in his own image" (Genesis 1:27), but that's like saying a Polaroid picture/image of you is EXACTLY/PERFECTLY like you...it's simply not true.
It looks like you included Proverbs 2:21 as some tenuous support of your position, but that is not talking about Adam and Eve, as Proverbs 2:22 makes plain.
