God has free will but we, mad in his image, do not?

Exactly. We can make limited choices, but it is God who ultimately controls everything.

God is also perfect, but we, made in His image, also are not. God is also omnipresent and omniscient, but we, made in His image also are not.

God has willed all mankind to be saved. Paul, under influence of the holy spirit, says all will be saved by the work of Christ on the cross in Romans, Corinthians, Timothy, Phillipians, Colossians etc...

All will be reconciled. It's scripture.

Why do you fight so vehemently the reconciliation or salvation of all that is in so many scriptures?

Whatever God "desires" will also all come to pass:

Isaiah 52: 8 Remember this, and show yourselves men; bring it again to mind, O ye transgressors. 9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; [I am] God, and there is none like me; 10 declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not [yet] done; saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; 11 calling a ravenous bird from the east, the man of my counsel from a far country; yea, I have spoken, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed, I will also do it.
