Reason for Devil/Satan: Lucifer (Anointed Cherub) was perfect in all his ways but in Pride and Lust, chose Sin (Ezekiel 28:15). {God of this Age (world), Spirit of Disobedience, Prince of the power of the air} Satan, as well as Man, were not created as Adversary but both chose to be God's adversary.
-Firstly, what is the intent of God as related to man? From Eden He wants a righteous (right) relationship with man within the confines of man's free will Choice.
-Secondly, if we were placed in a perfect setting, where there was no room for operating outside of the preferred pattern of God... would we be choosing God or would we be determined Beings simply functioning as participants?
-God did not create temptation or evil (James 1:13,1Peter:18-20). God made things Perfectly and man exercised his God given ability to choose between Righteous and Unrighteousness.
-Thirdly, Providence of God is, within God's Plan of Redemption of Man, seeing too all the physical and moral events fulfill His original Intelligent, Creator, Design. This is not always without horrors and His Providence is most often expressed through the affairs of created in the form of Blessing and Curse.
-God is Sovereign and His decretive will is and will be exercised whether or not we know and/or understand the Steps within His Plan of Redemption of Man. His ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).

In my beliefs the devil was born out of corruption caused by free will. So the real question is why do we have the ability to be evil? The answer to that is simple, good only has meaning if the possibility for evil exists.
Satan was God's best angel, lucifer became jealous and grew envyness for God and tried to overpower God, God banished lucifer from his kingdom and the angels that sided with him fell aside him, which is why now we have these fallen angels, aka demons
Because it's his plan if one does so believe.
Of course if he is all knowing everything as of now is going to his twisted plan that don't seem to help anyone and only create pain.He might not have expected him to turn on him, like how Knuckles didn’t expect Robotnik to betray him
wasn't the devil an angel before?
Because God has a plan of course
For the lulz.
