"he's not optimizing for the one single quality you chose (absolutely minimized suffering)"

God doesn't have to choose any quality over any other.

An omnipotent god could make a universe perfect in every way... but the universe is not perfect in every way. Why not?

The obvious issue with a statement like that is that a god would have a very different perspective than yours, and it assumes that you could actually define perfect or know it when you see it.
