How can someone who is all knowing and all powerful do something that they'd later regret?

In the bible it said God regretted making humans and wanted to flood the earth to destroy all living creatures. That's confusing to me because how could a perfect and all knowing being do something that they'd later regret?

You know people know that people eventually die..

But i have been to more then a few Funerals and time and time again i see people break down in tears and mourn the loss of their loved one.. Now why would a person mourn the death of a family member or a loved one when they all know that every human being eventually dies.. It's been happening for thousands of generations but people still cry at funerals...

So how can someone who knows people die mourn the death of a loved one at a funeral?

That sounds like a weird question right?

@Sweetguy024 That went totally over your head, right....

@Adstar your analogy didn't make sense because of course humans feel human emotions because that's how we're wired.
My question made sense because God is supposed to be all powerful and all knowing, unlike a human, but it doesn't make sense to me that a being who's like that can have a regret.
