Ever wonder why we weren't just created in Jannah from the start?

Assalamualaikum everyone. This might come off as a bit of a vent, but I'm curious if anyone else has had these thoughts. We know Allah is all-powerful and can do anything, as mentioned in the Quran-He knows the future, everything. But sometimes I wonder, since He is so powerful, why didn't He just create us already in Jannah? Living happy, no stress about whether our families and friends will make it there with us, no worry about ourselves or the Prophet (peace be upon him) stressing over his ummah. I get that we're here to worship and overcome Shaytan, but that was His plan, and He knew we'd face stress and misery. Some might say this path is the best because Allah chose it, but if He can do anything, what makes this so special? Just wanted to see if anyone else ever wished things could've been different, or even that we never existed. Thanks.
