No, your conclusions are not substantiated and just flat wrong. Again, I doubt you even read Genesis 1 & 2 but even if you did, you did not get the drift.

Adam and Eve were created in Genesis 1:27. The animals were already created previously on that day. Then Genesis 2:4-25 is that day in much more detail. Simply an account of that same day. There are not two different chronologies. Also, the Genesis 2:4-25 introduces “Man” as being superior to the animals and different in relationship with God.

There is also some discussion of how Genesis 2:19 should be translated given that certain Hebrew words could be translated differently depending upon the context of the subject verses.
There are some that believe the verse could be translated as follows: “Now the Lord God had formed out of the ground………..”
