But there was something not good in man, right? As evidenced by the eating in the garden of the bad fruit, a poison was taken into mankind which was genetically passed along. Adam & Eve weren't the only ones to die as their children had the malady too, and therefore also physically died. Outward actions, like the law, could not take care of the poison itself, only the resultant behaviors. Mankind needed a New Adam, with a new life, to be descendant from.

God saved some through the flood, but sin and therefore death still reigned after the flood, right? There was still corruption in the flesh. Again, mankind needed a New Adam to be descendant from.
