I think you are missing a key moment, Christ being born. Christ’s life is the greatest moment in creation.

Certainly!

But Christ is born because the world needs saving. and the world keeps degrading after Christ ascends (returns, in a sense) to heaven. Prophetic activity ceases, miracles become more and more rare, etc.

After Christ, the world still tumbles towards hell, but now it has a hope to not completely end up there.
