Everything we have in humanity was given to us by our Creators
We are created in the image of God and therefore our humanity
reflects His image. Why do you expect the incarnated Son of God
not to have the image of God in His humanity?

It's still gnosticism. Humanity's will, cognition, and emotion is not defined by
immanence, omniscience or transcendence. To do so is to be divine and not human. 
The moment you have a Christ that is immanent, omniscient, or transcendent, you have
a Christ that is not human.
