I fail to see how preventing the possibility of choices that cause harm to others constrains one's free will, any more than the lack of McD's in a town constrains one's ability to pick one of the eight other burger joints to get food from.
And I'm aware that Adam and Eve died. But see here, Genesis 2:16-17? "The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely;=but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."" In the day that you eat from it you will surely die. That same day, not the next day, not nine hundred thirty years later.
