What you seem to forget Acumen is that God is infinite/eternal, He is incapable of "being" something that He had not always been.  That is the very reason why the Trinity is the essential doctrine of Christianity because of what it reveals...the eternal nature of the Son.  God could have attached Himself to humanity without changing His nature but God could not have become either a "son" or a "father" at a point in time, He either had to be them always or He is not either ever.

First, the notion that trinitarianism is an "essential" doctrine of Christianity is ridiculous and laughable.  No historical council hundreds of years after the death of Jesus or his disciples gets to render such conclusions for others, and quite frankly, neither do you.  If the doctrine is so essential, then why is it plagued with problems that haven't been solved over the thousands of years since its invention? 

And second, your conclusion that it's impossible for God to be a Father if he wasn't one from eternity is irrelevant and doesn't prove what you think it does.  This has been established on another thread when you made no headway on your argument.
