I mean, would it contradict anything if God didn't have free will?
You just brought me back nearly 2 decades. The endless “free will v predestination” debates during theology discussion were the tipping point to cast away my faith.
Nothing occurs to me but it is a sign of weakness since supposedly we have it.
Then god is an automaton. A machine. It is arguably not the most perfect beautiful thing that can exist.
Also, humans were made to his likeness, and humans have (per Bible) free will.

Your reasoning is backwards here, isn't it? Essentially it's saying "If we were made in God's image, then God must look like exactly like us" is it not?
If A is similar to B, then B is similar to A. There is no “arrow” in similarity.
I have never designed a machine that had an ass and decided to show it to people.
