We could still be human spirits, He didn't have to give us a body to show He loves us.

He didn't. He created Man. Man - by virtue of his manly substance - has a body. Creating another God is not what God thought as the best way to share His love just like creating a spiritual chicken, or a spiritual tree, or a spiritual air, is not what God thought as the best way to share His love.
Remember: God and Man in Christianity outside of LDS are two very different substances.

Actually maiku, it was anatess and myself who made this comparison.
Happy New Year to you too!
