You could still hold that since man would be only part of God's creation 
it's incorrect to consider the "perfection" of a part in isolation of 
the whole, and since we can't see the whole it's entirely expected that 
things might look imperfect from our viewpoint.  An analogy would be 
asking if each note in a very good song is "very good" when considered 
by itself -- the concept isn't really meaningful at that scale.

A bit of a philosophical dodge, I'll admit, but it seems to work in 
getting the desired answer from those premises.  That said, I find the 
`lumpy clay bust' theory a somehow more satisfying response to the question.
