You know when Jesus on the cross asked God why he had forsaken him...
Is that cause he had to lose all hope to truly die for us?

Jesus didn't want to die painfully...because, when all is said and done, He was a man. He was the Son of Man, as He liked to call Himself. Subject to fear and pain...but obedient to the will of His Father till the end.
In the Garden of Gethsemane, He prayed, and asked that this cup be taken from Him, but He also said to the Father, that His will was more important than that of His Son, Jesus. "THY will...not mine."
In His last extremity, Jesus DID cry out, because He hoped against hope that His Father would change His mind. At the moment before He died, Jesus displayed His humanity and weakness. Jesus could not have died if He were not human.
His Father, God, was so distraught and angry that He caused the valley of the Temple to be split in two, but He had promised to save us all, through the intercession of His only begotten Son. He could NOT undo the sacrifice...or all of us would be lost for eternity.
