I think the question you should ask is why God gave man freewill. As God didn't make man evil; he made man in his image. God tempted man and man chose to be disobedient. 

Next question in before it's asked: Why did God allow man to make this choice?  My best answer is "I don't know". There are 100s of theodices out there that try to explain it, but who are they to know the mind of the Lord?
