I am not sure where you get your reasoning. If you eliminate one choice from the game, so to speak, there is only one choice left. Neutral choices would not be an option, because there would be bad sides to it and, since God keeps us from doing anything bad, there would be only good things. And if you could only do good things, would that not affect your free will? If you eliminate one entire choice, that impacts your free will.
Also, I still hold to my belief that death is separation from God. It gives you no hope to be reconciled. Sin was that death. It was the thing that separated us from God, making it so that we were able to sin, that we were able to make bad choices. Once Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, they died, perhaps not physically, but spiritually. There are more ways to die than simply physically and I believe that is what God was referring to.
